Project Brief
Task: Writing helps me fall back asleep when I wake up at 1 am and return back to sleep. Writing in the middle of the night means virtually no light (to not disrupt any chances of me falling back to sleep), and therefore illegible writing. I had an idea to create my own light and I had an exact idea of what it would look like. Actually, a specific word.
Goal: Building a "slanky" light to accompany me during sleepless writing nights. Expand my design mediums into hardware.
Methods: Sketching, prototyping, building.
Ideations
Sketches and Material Research
Sketches, product requirements, and research into the material and the process of developing a lamp.
Idea Evolution
I wanted to move quicker towards development. I saved the idea of a full lamp for a later project and scoped down to a small portable light mainly made of paper.
