Abstract

By utilizing simple mechanics through my designs, such as levers, wedges, and hinges, I simplify connection and adjustability in my lamps to their most fundamental elements. This timeless design draws from the enduring beauty of natural elements. Functionality is found within the form. These lamps offer a kind of joy, a moment of stillness and comfort that creates a space where people can unwind and feel at ease. This series of prototype light fixtures utilizes organic shapes and found forms to reintegrate natural patterns into everyday life. By blending utility and sculpture together, the light fixtures act as 3D sketches for experimental design. By puzzling together raw material, fitting form to function, and choosing the right mix of mediums, these designs arise from a change in perspective. Once the design emerges from this rearranging of material, the pieces are adhered in a way that isolates the earthly nature while disguising industrial hardware and emphasizing originality. Ultimately, this collection of pieces will represent a spontaneous design process based on intuition and seeking a cohesive language between materials and form.
