Thomas Perugini: Week 2 Flashlight

The flashlight takes heavy influence from medieval torches and braziers, which are cast iron frames that hold lit firewood and coals. Very archaic style.




The main handle of the flashlight is a hollowed out cylinder with a smaller cylinder plugging the back end of it, opposite the light. The light itself is a truncated cone, and the button a truncated prism with a hole. The metal strips are all one extruded shape, copied and reflected at 45 degree angles. The bolts on the strips are spheres. The back end is a series of hollow cylinders, spheres, and a Taurus. The outer handle was made by subtracting some of the surface of the main handle, and wrapping it in another hollow cylinder.


The lens is made of orange basic glass, while the handle is a less reflective and scaled down leather. The black is a metallic black paint with more roughness and less reflection to look like cast iron.
