TECHNO LUMA
Project Duration | 5 Weeks
Project Date | Fall 2025
Create a simple battery-powered lamp suitable for a late night study session that a user could access only the batteries and the push button. choosing to include the illusion that the lamp was floating to add to the unrealism and constraints to develop a solid product.
Throughout this design the driving goals were influenced and encouraged by futuristic architecture, gestural curves and sleek materiality.
FORM INSPIRATION
Intended for Study
Futuristic
Practicial and Small
Understanding the relationship between the circuit and the internals was crucial to be able to plan how the space would best fit for the wires, button and light itself.
CIRCUIT ANALYSIS
On the first set of major ideation, I focused on grasping a form that I resonated with and felt like demonstrated the flow and uniqueness I was driving for. playing with many organic and static forms encouraged a wide range of ideation. However, at this stage, button placement or internals were not recognized.
INITIAL IDEATION
At this stage, button placement and Internals began to take shape as I began to think about what would best be held and accessible. Beginning to play with the idea of an organic shape wrapping around the light influenced the design aesthetic of futurism.
FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS
During the final rounds of ideation this form overall made sense with the direction I intended to hit. The form demonstrated sleek and modern. I conceptualized where the button, batteries, and light would be placed as the next step was modeling and printing.
FINAL DIRECTION
The most important thing while 3D printing the first couple rounds was to consider space for the internals and this negative space that I chose to move forward with to really stretch the aesthetic of modernism and futurism.
