In this lamp project I started trying to create a Light Model with a twisted shape that suggests movement. After play experiment different shapes, I found on this one the perfect match between the finesse of smooth curves and the robustness of straight lines. It is called Ciclone lamp because of this parallel, smooth and strong.

Specially in this project, I started with a solid and then I used the command twist to create the shape. After that, using the commands Section and Contours to create the sections and the plugins on Rhino to cut the ribs, the final shape was almost done. Finally, using the make2d command I could print it using laser cut.

For the materials, in Keyshot I chose Oak Wood and Hard Rough Black Plastic. The finish product was made of a sheet of 24"x48" of MDF.
