PRODUCT DESIGN-COMPONENT 1

BRIEF:

I have chosen to create a lamp design and a table design for children with autism. For this design I will explore the differences of lamp designs and their significance for children and their needs.

The lamp design can be used for a night lamp or a day lamp due to the lamp will have flexibility and multiple functions. The lamp will come with a stand/ a toy of any choice. The design will be inspired from the theme of combining organic form and space age which will give it more of a character. Leading on for my table design I will produce a space age theme table with few functions. The table will be mainly for where the children will put the lamp with I will also design but also they can play and draw on the table.

>The lamp design/table design can be used from the ages between 1-15 years old but also older than that depending on the design and its functions.

>The lamp will be able to help the child with

sleeping at night due to it will have speakers with calming and relaxing sounds

>The table will be scaled smaller than a normal table design due to the measurements of the child

>The lamp design will have a variety of designs and colours for the child's liking

>The table will have different functions but only one colour to chose from

>Additionally, the lamp will come in any forms and designs which will help by having a variety of choices.

>Lastly the table can be placed anywhere due to its small size(it will be very comfortable and easy to move around too)

Final lamp design:

I have designed an additional lamp post for at night. The lamp design will be powered by solar panels and the colours would change depending on how much energy it has produced

Different outdoor lamp design for the sign. I have designed them to give me an overview of the right design that would work for an outdoor lamp post

MASAKI KONDO:

The Sycamore Chair is carved out of maple wood. The design is rather non function but more of an art design. The chair has a borderline mythical design

Both of Masaki Kondo designs have their own unique style

STORM LAMP BY JULIA KONONENKO

The Storm Lamps edges resemble an outline of a lighting strike. The inspiration for the lamp was mainly an organic form I have drawn different sides which shows the pointy edges of the lamp

The Storm lamp is entirely made from plywood .The assembled pieces of the flat plywood designs create a 3D form. The edges of the wood portray the look of a chaotic lightning strikes reinforcing the products inspiration

The Lamp design is both designed for hanging type or floor format. The hanging format is entirely made of thin plywood sheets

THE HUGGING CHAIR

The hugging chair was mainly designed for autistic individuals with sensory integration disorders

TABLE DESIGN

IDEAS:

For this design I have drawn lamp ideas that can match the aesthetic of the table. Leading on I've drawn different views of the table and added a development table that I will make as a model for a start

Table development that will be my first model for a start:

TABLE DESIGN MODEL DEVELOPMENT:

The hydraulic system opens the top of the table transforming it into a modern office desk with storage and a cable management system.

SPACE AGE TABLEAND BULB DESIGN:

This slide is mainly my ideas for table designs and bulb holder design for my lamp. I have used my secondary research table designs to help me produce my drawing ideas. I have picked out shapes and structures of the table and used it for my ideas.

Furthermore I have used my organic theme and primary research to bring more of an organic and nature look to my designs.

ATTACHMENT TECHNIQUES:

Before starting to make my development models I have designed a few attachment techniques to help me make my models for refine.

The different attachment methods will help me a lot whilst making my models due to the lamp/bulb attachment will be quicker and also the table design ideas will be more refined at the end

For this slide I have designed two different slotting techniques. I have take pictures from different angles to show the final designs.

I have used slotting techniques, tab slot, hinge etc..

LASER CUT MODEL:

For my final chosen lamp I have chosen to stick with this lamp design due to its geometric shape aesthetic and I think in general children will be very interested to have this type of lamp design next to them whilst there are sleeping or doing work/playing.

I have used the laser cutter to refine my chosen lamp design.
