project 2 upcycled utility






The lamp I would like present is a spiral shaped unique lamp. The form was inspired from a spiral shell in the or besides the ocean. The main reason why I took this shape for the final is because I mostly focused on spending time at night in a good mood. Therefore, this lamp has the purpose to bring about the laxury, elegance and relaxation to your room. Firstly, such a round and organic shape, of course because it came from a natural life, will create easy, comfortable feeling to user. In terms of function, the lamp cover whole part of bulb so it helps avoid people, children in particular, touching and burn themselves accidentally. So it can be said that security of using this product is well considered as well.
Assembly is easy-thought. It is just about bend and stick each piece with tags and slits. Those tags strongly hold each other so that the lamp will not be separate by itself. Also, the lamp holds the light bulb.
About the waste issue, this product could be made maximum 12 of those from 1 sheet of poster sized 1800 x 1200. As cutting diagram shows, waste of the paper is pretty less, sized 120 x 1200. This is only about 6% of waste from whole sheet of the poster.
Overall, I tried to achieve making the product with simplicity of assembly process but also the strong evolution of the material into much better appearance and use through this project.

  1. dude i absolutely love this! the way you have used the tabs to connect the pieces is so clean and neat. the only thing i could suggest would be to make it into a pendant light rather than a sitting light, i think that would look better. well done man, looks great.
