Glamour

Final Light Design






Enlarge Cut out CAD Wastage Estimate

Scale 1:125
Flat Pack


Top and bottom cap of the packaging is removable; to create easy access to flat pack Process
Paper models
Began with cut out design then moved onto Curls, got attracted by it's natural element of paper
Was suggested to just acrylic tubes to make the light more modern and classy.
Holes were then drilled into the acrylic tubes, there was risks of cracking the acrylic but it turned
out perfectly fine. Where the holes created fastening to join the layers and the tube with clips.


Changed the original light frame, with wires and changing it's circumference.

To make the curls stable, I used heat curlers to damage the plastic structures so it can stay curled
Started off with 3 layers and all in one direction
Decided to extended to 4 layers, to cover the empty space on the tube. Also change the direction of the curls, using gravity to create more beauty.
The change of direction and layer out of the light... leading onto the final light.

Rationale

“The Glamour” contains the use of recycle materials (provided by JCdecaux), it is a unique hanging light design inspired by tradition chandeliers. The core concept of this light decoration is the natural curve instinct of paper material, emphasising the light weight, simplicity and transparency. A curve design was inspired by jellyfish and lady’s curls hairstyle and leaded onto a mysterious magical light design image. The use of acrylic tubes and metal frame hang design makes the user recognise the smart details and stylish of the light. Acrylic tube would also protect the light globe for safety purposes and give the material maximum light transparency. Since the tube is circular it bonds to the theme of curls just like a circle that has no ending or beginning.

Light on or off would want to be a beautiful and glamorous display for the owner to look at, to provide a relaxing comfort atmosphere in the household. The hanging light would be a pleasurable economical presents for housewarming presents or even be located in vintage restaurants. To keep the light production to its lowest wastage it consists of simple strip cut outs, simple fasteners and minimal packaging, to have an environmentally outcome.

The name “Glamour” is because its appearance just likes a dressed up girl going to a party and wanting to present the best to its audience. The hidden stream of light ray behind the curls will provided a magical and elegancy to the light. The uniform length and layers of curls is also a feature of the light, just like a chandeliers and a encouragement of “creativity”; while geometric light are not interesting enough to continuous to inspire it’s user. “Glamour” would be the choice of display that brings out the maximum attraction to an internal space.
