Dark room trial

After laser cutting we went into the darkroom to check out how the shade might turn out. (koru)This is how it would look like if it is on ceiling. (Koru) This is how it would look like if it is on the wall. The shape of Koru distorts when it is zoomed out more and makes more abstract shading.

(Fantail) This is how it would look like if it is on ceiling. (Fantail) This is how it would look like if it is on the wall.

We have tried both size 9 & 12 small pattern & Large pattern but there were not much difference to the shape of the shading.

Globe corrugated cardboard lamp

Here are the example that Wendy talked about. Without laser cutting any patterns we could still create a shadow by using this idea.

3d modelling how our lamps can slot together. using a basic puzzle slot system.

render tests

quick vray and skp renders to get an idea of scale and what the lights might play like in real life.
