Janae' Javis: Gravitron Lamp

I don't think I was able to get the light to emit the way I wanted, very subtle emmission.

Design is loosely based on the Gravitron (now called Starship) fair ride. I originally wanted a more complex shape, but Grasshopper wouldn't accept it. All of the t-sections weren't oriented properly, but I was still able to build a structurally sound lamp. I opted to suspend the candelabra light and exclude the bottom n-section so it can stand while in use without balancing on the cord. I'm still experimenting with how I want the light suspended/oriented as you can see from the two images above.
