project 2 light

Rational

Design process

At first, I was thinking to make a desk lamp and to use blue color poster to make customer feel like in the ocean by make the lamp shape and the shadow like sea wave. Unfortunately I didn’t get a blue poster. So I give up that idea. And start to design the light use a red poster. Red is a warm and cheerful color. And make me immediately associate to the Chinese lanterns. So I combined the lanterns shape with me idea and after many tests and experimentation. I decide to make a hanging light due to its curved shape.  It seems simple but has many layers. No matter which direction you look from, there always have different patterns.  The overall shape for my designed light is like a jellyfish.

Where to use?

This hanging light can be decorated in café, dessert shop, or some romantic place. It also can use as a night-light or decoration. Please do not use this light as a reading light. Because this light is not bright enough.

Layers

Inner layer is assembled by three same parts. Pattern on each part is getting thinner from top to bottom. And some are bending internal. Because I do not want the customer feel bored. And the outer layer I made the shape curved like a lanterns and it also like a jellyfish. This is a recycle project so I think the product should be related to our environment and nature. I hope this jellyfish shape light can bring relax and comfortable feeling to the customer.
