Research
Consumer Insights
Top Priorities
Stability: 80%, Crucial for care takers
Light Source: 70% prefer energy efficient LED lighting
Attraction 58% Value aesthetic appeal
Consumer Values when Selecting a Lamp
Inspiration: Shape and Form Exploration
Focused on geometric and curved themes
Angled Forms
Curved Edges
Twists and Loops
Inspiration Board & Ideation Sketches
Explored various non-lamp objects for visual appeal and
elected to execute a solid geometric look
Structural Analysis
Analyzed an existing lamp to gain a better understanding of standard fitting compartments and sizing
Soldered wires, button, light and resistor together to create the LED circuitry
Initial Models: Low Fidelity
Form and Lighting Exploration
Experimented with textured surfaces through extrudes and cut outs
Tested the best look in terms of solid form and efficient showcasing of light
Electrical Configuration Exploration
Explored the most feasible ways to include wiring for different shaped forms
Detailing the Design
Further explored forms, materiality, and different assembly mechanisms
Key Findings:
Battery pack access underneath structure is most feasible
A snap to fit slot in top would hold most structural stability
Drawing Analysis: Measurement and Fit
Additional in-depth analysis of how top will fit into bottom base slots
Recorded measurements of battery pack and internal slots to create to size CAD model
Visualizing the Design: CAD Forms
Simple geometric shape
Extended length on bottom half
Curvy base added
Final Drawing Exploration
Refined Models: Mid Fidelity
Visualization of Design: Final CAD Form
Made changes to internal parts to better support manufacturing design.
3D Printed Parts and made comparisons to best accommodate battery pack and overall component fitting.
Creating the Model: High Fidelity/Analysis
Spray Painted
1 coat of primer, 1 coat Dark Brown Paint
Hand Painted
w/ Acrylic paint to capture wooden texture
Creating the Model: Finishing Touches
Final 3D Model
