Project Outline
5 Week Duration
To design a functional and appealing lamp that blends form and utility. The project focuses on exploring materials, ergonomic design, and user-friendly features, while also incorporating a simple circuit.
1. Ensures Safety
2. Sets the mood
Soft, diffused lighting reduces harsh shadows and lines, making a more inviting environment. It also can open up a space when dark corners are prevented.

What is Ambient Lighting?
Light that is diffused into multiple directions and provides overall illumination throughout a space, rather than a spotlight

Importance of Ambient Lighting
A well lit space is essential for safety, especially in areas like hallways, staircases, and entry ways. Ambient lighting creates a comfortable environment where people can move freely.
Ambient lighting influences the mood of a space. Warm toned lighting can make a room feel cozy and inviting, while cool toned lighting can evoke energy and motivation.

Quick Models and Notes
Not realistic or abstract. Not an ideal lamp. More complex then what was wanted but the structure is strong
The spherical shape portrayed the aesthetic, the light on the inside is a nice concept and is practical
This design was closer to the intended goal, featuring the inside light and a short, wide form
This design was chosen to expand on
Began designing in Fusion360 to expand on the idea. Also used this opportunity to find the best way to split the part keeping production and manufacturing in mind
