Rationale


The design of the light is modern and classical inspire by the organic shapes and enhanced by the naturally organic nature the material takes once it has been cut into strips. After experimenting with techniques such as weaving I decided to keep the material unchanged and work with it naturally. Through the design of many different prototypes and experimenting with different sizes and shapes I was able to decide on the right thickness and length of the strips that would be most suitable and incorporate into my final design. The roll of material I used was coloured with a great shade of blue, which further enhanced the organic nature of my design   Tabs were used to connect the strips so no other type of new material needed to be incorporated. Each roll of material is capable of making 3 lights. In assembly the light takes about 30 minutes to assemble, and if the instructions are followed correctly it should be quite easy to assemble. With 15% usage, the light may be slightly wasteful, however, the fact that not much material is used for each and every light made, allows for each sheet of material to make 3 lights.
