I have been working on shadow lamps lately and while I was looking at the lamp, It eventually makes me think of windows. Windows lead us to different spaces, and I think that it is quite interesting to make lamp as if it is a window.
The work starts with my sketch of the shape of thinking shadow and the design of a lamp. Then I found right light bulb; normally light bulbs make multiple shadows so I needed to find a one resource light bulb to make one shadow just like the sun. Next, I decide the size and what kind of light bulb I need to use because it will affect the lamp size and size of the object that makes the shadow.
After that, I used Rhino as a modeling tool, design the shadow object and the lamp. And then, made prototype model and assembly together. I remade the prototype model again and again until I satisfy with the result. Lastly, I made the actual lamp using a laser cutter.
