Lamp Research

I created a research page that surveys lamp archetypes and functions to understand how lighting can be manipulated through design.

5 weeks - Fall 2025

A battery-powered desk lamp that casts a warm, soothing, glow. Perfect for anyone wanting to unwind in the evening and students working late into the night.

Skills Used - Bambu Lab, Fusion 360, Sketching, Design Research

Emit warm, soothing mood lighting that helps the user fall asleep

Design Objectives

Include elements of streamlining in the final design

Inspiration Boards

Explorative Sketches

A series of sketches reflecting the aesthetics of my inspiration boards - one sketch page per board

Final Inspiration Board

Created a final inspiration board highlighting the form factor and CMF of my final design direction

Low-Fidelity Models

Two low-fidelity models, both illustrating different design directions of my final concept. I ended up choosing the rectangular diffuser on the foam model and the stand shape of the clay model.

Mid-Fidelity Model

Mid-fidelity model with working circuitry. I made the stand a little more rectangular similar to the top and decided that I wanted the color effect to be inverted, so the diffuser would be orange with yellow streamlines.

Assembly
