 Ghosted

 Root solid

For my lamp design I chose to do something sleek, simple, and modern. I wanted to create a design that I would love to have and use in my own home. I decided to name it Pod because the design of it reminds me of the bud of a flower or a seed pod.

In designing my lamp, I started with a root object. I made the root object by creating curves that I lofted and made a hole in it with a solid and boolean difference. I then used the make section command to create curves that I then turned into surface. I also used pipes and split them to create the cut out sections where the lamp pieces would fit together. Finally I extruded all the pieces to the thickness of my MDF board.

In keyshot I chose to use the old wood material because I liked the look of it. I wanted to use a wood material because I laser cut MDF so I wanted it to have a similar look that my actual lamp had.
