Geometric Paper Lamp
The Brief
Learning and exploring shape and form by designing and making a paper hanging lamp.
Using angular geometry, curves and asymmetry to create an engaging design.
Research
Popular existing designs were explored to provide inspiration.
The shape of airships proved an interesting starting point.
Research into paper folding and joining techniques.
Prototyping
Using rapid prototyping to test a multitude of different ideas.
Testing how different weights of paper react when the light is shone on them.
Joints in the paper were difficult to hide when the light shines through.
Settling on a final design that combines geometric elements with curves and asymmetry creating interest for the viewer.
