Kathrine Clark: Week 8 Goblet Lamp




Week 8 Project
Lamp

My inspiration for this project was botanical forms. I wanted to recreate the curvy linear shape of the goblet tulip. It had great movement in space and worked well as a lamp.
To make the lamp I revolved a petal and then made the vertical and horizontal surfaces. I piped them but had difficulties with the notches. So, I then used cut my ribs. Although I had to correct the ribs that appeared on the incorrect sides, it was still a better option.
The colours selected are typical to this flower. The light inserted via cylinder was a soft touch. The chipboard used was selected due to the minimal amount of rigidity as I wanted the lamp to look delicate. Once printed the lighting I use will also be soft to create the affect intended.
