CONCEPT STATEMENT:

Inspired by the landscape in the iconic 1970 film Zabriskie Point by Michelangelo Antonioni. Lophocereus Marginatus or more commonly know as Mexican Fencepost Cactus scatter the Mojave desert. This handsome cactus has columnar trunks reaching heights up to twenty feet. The plant’s common name is derived from the many Mexican roadways are fenced by the cactus.

The cacti form a metaphysical backbone within the desert, that helps define the imagery of wonder of the Southwestern US. I wanted to embody this form into a nomadic light that accompanies you from space to space, from indoor to out and that moves you.

I also wanted the light to be producible under certain means. With my partner in Shanghai, we were able to have the form be completely 3D Printed and tinted the exact color to give off a warm sunset glow.

PROJECT SPECS:

Zabriskie is a portable light powered by Anker PowerCore 5000 Rechargeable Battery, a 5V COB LED Strip, custom 3D printed USB - C Charing Port and Mini SPDT Slide Switch. The light can be carried by hand or placed down for use. Its lightweight resin body was completely 3D printed.

CONCEPT STATEMENT:

Inspired by a temporary astronomical event - Eclipse, which brings a miracle and beautiful moment to the earth. To express the phenomenon, the luminary sculpture for indoor space runs with a simple mechanism. The lampshade can be rotated to control the direction of the light. The reflected light creates smooth shadows that appear along the arc both on the lamp body and on the back wall. It creates a shadow that corresponds to an eclipse, resulting in a functional and decorative floor lamp for everyday use. The design challenges come with the metal structure hidden inside the lower body to make sure it stands perpendicular. Another major challenge is showing the optimum and comfortable light source to look at and creating the best shadow effects which can enhance the spatial vibe. Resulting in using the geometric elements and plain white color to create this subtle sculptural lighting fixture.

PROJECT SPECS:

The floor lamp is made of 1mm powder-coated steel. The dimension is W320*D320*H1780. The light source is using LED strip profile with a PMMA diffuser. The manufacturing process complies with metal welding and folding and waterjet cutting.
