AS : Product Design

Here are photograhs of a lamp that I had made as part of my Product Design project during AS level. The project was based around a client and we had to then go away and come up with different design ideas and make the product based on the specification the client had given us. The client that I worked along side was my counsin, I had come up with different questions created to give me a deeper insight as to what she liked. The things I had to consider when goiung through the designing process was that the lamp had to be a mood lamp, fresh colours such as greens had to be included, and soft / traditional mateirals incorporated into the product, however still have a modern contempary twist. As part of the soft / traditional materials the client wanted within the product I decided to use Plywood, Plywood was an ideal wood because of the pale natural colour it was made up of, this went well with the fresh green colour scheme that the client wanted the lamp to adopt. Finally I decided that in order to tie in a contempary twist within the lamp that the modern material such as arylic would be the make up of 'windows' that occurred throught the lamps design. By frosting the acrylic this gave off the radient / suttle light the client wanted to be achieved once the light was lit.
