LILY "Elegance of 3D printing"

THE PROJECT

 

The result is a 3D printed led lamp that was chosen as one of the six selected designs to compete at the Dutch Design Week 2013 in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. The jury and visitors choose three winners. My design came fourth out of six.

IDEA DEVELOPMENT

 

The idea is based on five key words:

Life - Elegance - Construction - Style - Simplicity

 

 

The start of sketching, brainstorming, doodles, etc.

END RESULT

 

The idea behind this lamp is to go to the edge of the possibilities of 3D printing. The shapes and the accuracy of the FDM 3D printers are taken to the max. The LILY has a simple shape, which presents elegance and simplicity. But with the openings in its form it creates an interesting end result.

 

The LILY didn’t compete in the Dutch3Design competition because it was a personal drive to create a lamp to find the limits of 3D printing.

LILY "Elegance of 3D printing"

LILY

 

This 3D printed hang, wall and table lamp is inspired by nature. Water that falls on the rock will eat the rock away over time. The rain gets frozen at night what will make cracks.

These cracks will open more and more. Eventually the cracks are open enough for the wind to get trough. The sand that the wind picks up will sand the rocks rough edges down.
