Cosmos
Nathaniel Ng 

 

Concept Statement:
The cosmic space is a medium of constant change, the arrangement of the star, the bending of light, the revolutions of planets and moons. We see the lights in space as clouds made out of clusters of stars. individual stars look flat alone, but when arrange together they form a volumetric arrangement that has no definite shape but its form is in unison.

Cosmos is inspired by the unplanned yet complex and orderly system of the cosmic space. Each arm of the lamp is connected together with bearings that allows it to swivel, the idea behind it is to show the effects of gravity on the arrangement of the arms. An unintended yet harmonious form. Cosmos has 4 arms which correlates to the 4 spiral arms of our galaxy the Milky way.
Cosmos can also use both as a pendant light or a standing lamp with the included stand.

Bio:
My name is Nathaniel Ng (20). I am currently in my final year in Product design at Ngee Ann Polytechnic, School of Design and Environment. Design is not all about how it feels, how it looks or how it works but also the meaning behind. I wish to see my design to be not all about the functionality, Aesthetic or Creativity but also the impact and affect it has on the users.
