During my trip to the state's north this week, I had time to reflect upon the direction in which I want to take the design on my lamp/s. I have come up with an approximation of the design I want to use for the final product of lamp1. It shall consist of a repetition of one shape of fin, which I hope can be stretched using CAD to produce the varying shapes as seen below. At present, my idea for lamp2 is to make the inverse of the shape below, in that I would use the 'squares' cut out from lamp1 and suspend them to create the same shape, without the 'skeletal' structure of lamp1. Ideally it would be done with wires, but then I don't know whether that would breach the brief in that MDF may not be the primary material used. Whether or not this is attainable is a bit unclear at this stage, due to the immense complexity of making it.
It is quite unclear how well this design reflects my design intentions of DDI and Refine, so I can only go by how I feel about it, which is to say that I feel it does. Presently the only limitations placed upon this project are my CAD skills and the fact I don't confidently know how to make such a complex shape, so I shall make a serious attempt at creating it in the very near future and judge whether I can proceed with this design.
From here I shall create a single fin panel that I am most happy with, and one that can be stretched etc to create something in the order of the above design, as well as determine how the base of the lamp shall work, as well as how to incorporate the light into it.
