Marcelo Torres: Week 7 Lamp

For this lamp, I wanted to come up with something simple and not too intricate, but without it being boring. I wanted to make the lamp look like it has a slight twist, while still conserving the the rectangle-like shape.
For modeling, I first used the commands to generate the sections and contours of my shape. I also used planer curves, surface extrusions, and pipes. I also filleted the edges to achieve a smoother look.
I made my lamp out of polished light oak because I wanted the wooden surfaces to look smooth and clean. Also, polishing is great for lighting because of its reflective qualities.
