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.

It is a very interesting light, i like how you can customise your own curls to make it less or more curly. I think you can make the strip lengths vary on each layer to give a more dynamic effect
ReplyDeletefor the flat package, i think the steps are bit difficult. The direction of the lines are little "out of order". But considering the upcycling, the way of use paper is good.
ReplyDeleteDifferent way of curves shows great interest of your light. But I think its a little bit messy, the structure of your light is not clear enough. The suggestion for improvement is that I think it will be better that you might need to develop more for the structure.
ReplyDeleteA interesting use of the material, very quirky and interactive as the curves can transform to different sizes. my suggestion would be to improve the assembly system as it may seem complicated.
ReplyDeleteI like how you've been able to playfully present the light through the use of curls. It would be good if there was less wording with the instructions/seems kind of complex to read and find a easier way for keeping the strips curled
