Loved doing this project! I was inspired by a very symmetric mushroom that I saw back at home.  I learned to do ribs and intersections in rhino.  First I started with a basic cylindrical form and a torus shape, with that I did a boolean difference and made it one object.  With this I began to make the sections which became the ribs of the lamp. 

I played a little bit by using the plexiglass instead of plywood.  The moment of getting all the pieces together was very challenging.  I had to make a plan in order to gather everything, finally I managed to built the lamp.  This was one of the projects that I had more fun with.
