W8: Materials

Here are the materials I found interesting in the materials library last week:

Waterproofing fabric, I like the 3 dimensional quality and how fine the weave must be to actually collect water!

Metal grid in resin, this really has a glow about it, I like the harsh grid softened by the light.

Kova textiles fabric, I like the the iridescent quality and interesting textures in the weaving

[Midterm] Lamp – 灯

For my midterm lamp project, the inspiration came from the traditional Chinese words. The shape of Chinese words are special and beautiful. So my lamp is a Chinese word “lamp” shape. It can be not only a unity of function and shape, but also an interface of cultural communication.

The function of this lamp is that it is portable, wearable and foldable. The target users should be people who want to read while camping or other place outside the room, but who have no hand to hold a big lamp.
