This lighting design concept explores an innovative approach by integrating mechanical elements as a dimming mechanism. The project emphasizes a design philosophy where functionality takes precedence and form adapts accordingly. The lamp features a unique blind system that adjusts the light output, creating a dynamic interplay of shadows and light patterns.
The design process involved numerous iterations and models to perfect the functionality and aesthetics. The gear system was meticulously engineered and optimized to minimize friction, ensuring smooth operation. To address weight concerns and improve efficiency, card inserts were introduced into the blind system. Additionally, magnets were incorporated into the base, providing convenient access to the internal cavity and enhancing the lamp's overall usability.
These refinements not only enhance the lamp's performance but also contribute to a visually engaging and functional lighting solution.
The base of the lamp was precisely cut using a CNC router, ensuring high accuracy and consistency. The blinds were laser cut, allowing for intricate details and precise adjustments. Additionally, assembling the lamp required a range of hand tools, highlighting the blend of advanced technology and traditional craftsmanship in the final product.
