2. Market Research Early Concept

We decided to mix the natural sources (the way of lighting,candels, or the type of material,clay) with modern forms. BUT the general structure of an oil lamp was too complicated and if we decided to use natural material like clay, it would be difficult to implement the structure. So we decided to either go with candels as a natural light source or use natural materials such as wood.

4. Final Concept

Our final concept is to use the natural high relefectivity of water to spread the minimum amount of light through it, resulting in a tranquilizing and relaxing ambient light.

5. Design Process Visualization

5. Design Process Ways to Include water

We got a motor used in fish tanks to try to play a little bit with water and experiment different things. But in the end we decided to keep the water steady.

Iron Glass

Water 2nd Sphere Glass

5. Design Process

Problems and Solutions

Problem 1: Weight of water

Solution: Minimize the unit/ put it on a shelf

Problem 2: Drilling holes in the glass will cause weakness to the whole unit.

Solution: Change material from glass to plastic

Problem 3: Expensive mold

Solution: Buy an existing alternative

Problem 4: The hanger (iron) is heavy.

Solution: Change material, Find already made hangers

Problem 5: Rough edges after cutting

Solution: Applying a rubber edge
