The pieces can be used to build many different models, including an icosahedron (20 faces)
We’re really interested in creating something like this for our project, inspired by how the Kerf lamp slots together we also want a form that slots and uses no extra fastenings. we also like the customisability of this form, it can be as big or as small as you can create it.
Here are some vector based images that I have researched.
We have decided it would be cool if our pattern was made out of kiwiana materials. We don’t want things to turn out too kiddy or cheesy but it would be cool to see what it might look like when it is simplified.

Bunch of customizable lamp model researches by Fin& Minjoo
Our group wants the lamp that could.. -Free stand -cylinder shape to reduce down the size and make it more convenient -customizable -eco friendly/sustainable -Prefer Bamboo -Prefer No Glue -Nice Kerf laser cut patterns on the model -Prefer variety of patterns -Prefer Kiwiana pattern
Interesting shape models:
This isn’t opensourced but the first one is made out of 3d printing
and the second I couldn’t find but I thought using variety of colours for our group would be cool.
Lamps that has similar shading as the Kerf Lamp:
Obviously it is different shaped to the Kerf Lamp but here are some examples.
I thought Making our lamp customizable like Sketch chair would be a cool idea.
We want something customizable and Sketch chair has many ways to customize the model itself.
