This was the second project for IDUS 501. The assignment was to create a light fixture using the machines we had learned over the quarter in the wood shop. There were no constraints as to what the light could look like. We could also use the laser cutter, CNC and 3D printing tools available. I mostly stuck to the shop tools but did use the laser cutter for the acrylic pieces.
The inspiration for this piece was a picture of a brick wall from this blog so it is serving its purpose. The idea was to make an evenly lit piece the could be configured in a variety of different ways depending on the user's preference. The light is dimmable as well to provide a custom light level. The process was complicated but with a lot of front end work it was a successful outcome. And now I have the new desk lamp I've been needing.
