This lamp prototype is made out of upcycled synthetic paper advertising posters, metal spacers and steel wire. Through staying true to the limits of the material, symmetry and repeating patterns I was able to create my lamp using structured folding techniques and straight lines protruding from a circular base to still create the dynamic form of this light It displays a contrast between a rigid and structured exterior to an organically shaped interior. The layers that form the light shade are constructed from the same base shape and the length is then altered- this in turn has produced a cutting diagram that is materially efficient as each piece can be tessellated against the next on a flat sheet.
The shape of this pendant lamp is similar to that of a traditional lamp, however contrasts to its structural design. it has been successfully executed in a way that it displays and also hides varying facets of the light from different positions in a room. However, still attains a warm distilled glow from all angles of perspective.
