Ryan Quinn: Week 8 Lamp

   This lamp is very different from the concept I posted originally.  That lamp had a strong horizontal emphasis.  After looking at that horizontal lamp, i decided I wanted a vertical composition, with a clean curve on the back, like a puff of air, or the water that surrounds the top of a sharks fin before the surface tension breaks. 
   I created or organic shape originally from altering a sphere, then differencing out the center, which is wider along the top of the lamp.  Top make the sections so that it could be laser cut and put together I used the waffling with pipes method, after the grasshopper script failed to work.
  The material for the lamp is wood.  The horizontal sections are herringbone, altered a bit in contrast, brightness and scale.  The vertical sections are made from mahogany.  I liked the red verses the brown/grey.  Hopefully my real lamp can look the same.
