Product Design Year 1 Lighting Project

Published: 4 Mar, 2024

In this project,  First Year Product Design students explored shape, form, and proportion by designing and making a pendant lamp solely utilising white paper and card. The goal was to create a volume around the light source as a secondary material without embellishment or use of colour. Students undertook an iterative process in response to the brief, exploring ways in which light could be diffused using paper construction techniques learned in the first semester. The completed lamp was then photographed in the photography studio and presented alongside A3 posters in a studio exhibition.
