Ruan Basson: Week 8 Lamp - OVO

Original form

sliced form

The inspiration for my lamp lies with modern design.  I love sleek, flowing design, so I tried to incorporate that into my lamp.  It is also an iteration of my ring that I had printed.  

I used a very simple method to create the form of the lamp.  I first made a torus, tapered it, and trimmed the bottom of it so it could sit on a table.  I then put a point in the center of the form and radiated the cross sections from that and used the pipe method to get the cutouts.

I rendered it in black plastic because I wanted to see what the finished product would look like.  I love a black and white palette, so other iterations could be white and a transparent acrylic.

Of the Forest resembles a tree stump. The design embodies the continuous motion of the circle (of life). The internal meeting of the motion is where the light springs from.

The design is built with wood. 

Sabina Pareja-Lecaros: Week 8 Lamp

I am really passionate about architecture and I tend to develop very architecture kind of volumes. For my lamp I was inspired by the Infinity Tower in Dubai. My lamp was originally made from a solid with twisted squares rotating one on top of each other. I did sections in each horizontal and vertical plane to create my structure with surfaces. Later on I piped the intersections to get the nudges and finally extrude the surfaces to get the material's thickness. I used Luan to get my shapes laser cut. Originally, as the Keyshot image describes, my materials are acrylic for the vertical sections and aluminium for the vertical ones. The twisted vertical planes give an amazing lighting effect when the lamp is turned on.

I was inspired by fire.

I wanted a very harsh shape so I used many jagged edges. I used the twist command in order to make the parallel planes spiral up the lamp. It was very important for me to have uneven spacing and I used grasshopper to accomplish that. my lamp is designed to stand on its own, but it can very easily be flipped into a hanging light. 

Due to the fact that i do not have a car, I could not buy wood. I needed to do it in cardboard. it came out pretty cool, but I decided to paint it red to enhance it.

I don't think I was able to get the light to emit the way I wanted, very subtle emmission.

Design is loosely based on the Gravitron (now called Starship) fair ride. I originally wanted a more complex shape, but Grasshopper wouldn't accept it. All of the t-sections weren't oriented properly, but I was still able to build a structurally sound lamp. I opted to suspend the candelabra light and exclude the bottom n-section so it can stand while in use without balancing on the cord. I'm still experimenting with how I want the light suspended/oriented as you can see from the two images above.
