3DP Glow Lamps ↴
I developed a series of experimental 3D-printed lamps that blend modern fabrication techniques with creative lighting solutions. Using Smooth White PLA for the main structure, I achieved a clean, diffused lighting effect, while Wood PLA frame elements, including legs and caps, added warmth and texture.
One of the standout features of this design is an astrology symbol projection system, where laser-cut details cast intricate celestial patterns onto the ceiling. In the second-generation version, I introduced a folding carry handle that seamlessly integrates into the circular frame, making the lamp more portable and user-friendly.
While the design effectively captured the modular concept, the pie-slice shape presented limitations in aesthetic refinement. These challenges ultimately led me to refine my approach, focusing on more cohesive and visually balanced forms in my next generation of lamp designs.
This design also introduced the touch tap control, where users could tap the top to turn the lamp on or change colors, adding an interactive element to the lighting experience.

3DP "Pie" Lamp Zodiac-Inspired Design ↴
Before developing my latest 3D-printed lamps, I created the "Pie" Lamp, a unique concept inspired by modular design and astrology. Shaped like a slice of pie, each lamp was intended to represent one of the twelve zodiac signs, with the full set forming a complete illuminated circle. The lamps were battery-powered, allowing for flexible placement without the need for constant wiring.

Kinetic Plant Lamp – Exploring Motion and Organic Forms ↴
The Kinetic Plant Lamp began as a deep brainstorming process, where I sketched out multiple ideas side by side to compare different forms, structures, and mechanisms. Studying my previous lamp designs, I explored ways to integrate dynamic movement into functional lighting, drawing inspiration from the mesmerizing kinetic sculptures of David C. Roy but with a stronger emphasis on organic, plant-like motion.
This early stage of development is focused on experimenting with different mechanical concepts, ensuring that the final design captures a balance of fluid motion, structural elegance, and lighting functionality. By iterating through sketches and refining ideas, I'm working toward a design that feels both alive and artistic, blending sculptural movement with practical illumination.
