Digital Design of Desk Lamp

Desk lamps have often been a focal point for designers. It is possible to design with a particular light source in mind, or opposite to that approach. The solution space can range from utmost simplicity to highest complexity. Try to embody the digital world through virtual reality; let there be light on the desk!

My exploration started with a question,

Can we bring more active commentary into a mundane, passive engagement between a lamp and the light it provides?

Perhaps turning the light on and off could be likened to the sensation of waking up and going back to sleep. In this way, we bring the presence of the lamp forward. We make it known.

With the heat from the light, the bimetallic strip bends and transforms, creating a performative movement of the strips rising and falling like waves.
