Interval Complete

I was relatively happy with the way the project went. The development process was successful in exploring a number of ideas and I believe the project represents the concepts underpinned in my design for the Industrial design & my beliefs of Industrial design itself. The poster above shows the thought process and the sequence is evident in the evolution of the design.



Above is the completed model. With a few hard knocks with the hammer, the pieces fit relatively well together and complications in building were fairly minimal. I think it would have been a little more successful as a lamp if more perforations had have been made in the pieces going vertically up the model. The idea of rotation and manipulation of shape and form is evident, however, I think the model came out a little different than I had expected. I learnt from doing this project, that although the concept may be pleasing at the maquette scale, realising it at 1:1 is a different story and I feel I probably went overboard with the form and only learnt this once the project was built at its scale. It's something I will consider in future projects and am appreciative to have learnt and undertaken this project.
