Calvin Mai: Week 7 Nautilus

For my lamp, I was inspired by the nautilus, and a seashell, and tried to combine aspects from both to create my final lamp design. I also wanted to create a economical and small lamp, so this lamp can be cut 4 times from a sheet of 24"x48" material

For my model, I created a base form with curves and then lofted it. After I created my base form, I sectioned it and used the pipe method to create the notches in the sections. After that I used massive unroll script to unroll it out. After I unrolled it, I extruded each of the surfaces to my material thickness.

For my lamp, I chose Red oak, as that would be my ideal material of choice for my lamps, but I used a default lighting environment that I played with the contrast and brightness. For my actual lamp, I used a corrugated cardboard, with the westinghouse light.
