Sean Carl: Week 8 Lamp

I was attracted to the idea of a modular, low to the ground lamp. Lower lighting gives things a more dramatic effect on the surrounding. Some of my profiles are kind of bulky, so I chose to used less sections to fulfill the material requirement.
My basic shape was a sphere with manipulated control points. I punched a sphere shaped hole in the back for the light cavity. The idea is that the light would rest on a circular piece, and the circular piece would be fixed in the sphere hole.
I used Polished light oak for the sections, and an area light for the bulb. For my real piece I'd want to use chipboard, but if that's not available cardboard will do.
