The prompt was to design a children's lamp using the laser-cutter.

Initial prototype of the Children's Laser-Cut Lamp.

Realized that, in order for the shell to be able to hold the bulb, the body needed to be lifted off the ground about 10cms.

Created a new prototype that would be able to hold the bulb-bearing.

The curved body of the laser-cut lamp was created using a 'living hinge' type laser cut.

Laser-cut pieces for the actual product.

Putting the pieces together.

I chose the color green because it resembled the patina on an anchor when it rusts.

Was happy with what came out. 

I felt that this would be a good product, as:

1. It is cheap and easy to make.

2. The design can be easily changed by laser-cutting different shapes, or by changing the color of the acrylic.

3. Can be completely flat packed.

4. It is easy to put together even with no instructions.
