Post 11 Final Report

For my final project I wanted to make a lamp. I have a long history of building furniture and always want my next project to push the limits of my past knowledge. I decided to do a lamp because I had never worked with A/C voltage, and I am also an avid reader. Recently I have felt that my room needed more flavors of lighting, as softer lighting in a room with more lighting creates a more cozy aesthetic. It was due to all of this that I decided to create an industrial aesthetic lamp. I did not have any specific inspirations when creating the lamp, I knew I wanted and industrial style lamp, so I would be using pipes as the main body, I also knew that I wanted to continue using the reclaimed wood form my farm to maintain the theme of the other furniture, I also knew I wanted an Eddison bulb because of its beautiful design, besides that I wanted the ideas to flow in the moment as that is how my best pieces are created. I unfortunately don’t have any sketches as i tend to go with the flow, I like to look at my materials and imagine the best way for them to come together.
