Biotic - The Ecosystem of Light
Tasked with making a lamp using a non-symmetrical assembly of found objects, I went through a 3 prototype process to finally get to the final design.

From a collection of
9 found objects
this organic composition was made attempting to not allign any object symetrcally or centered with the other objects and so there would be variation of both shape and proportion with all the objects
Using the initial composition as inspiration, this
first sketch
for the first prototype was created
From this sketch, the
first prototype
was made as a quick sketch model to think about dimensions, proportions, how the light would interact with the composition, and what color palette to use
Taking into consideration the improvements suggested from feedback, the
final sketch
Was made with all the nescessary proportions, shapes and components
From feedback on the initial prototype, changes on proportions, color palette, and light direction were made to create the
final product
from wooden and 3D printed parts which were then primed, spray painted, and the small island was added a soft furry texture through flocking
