This lamp design integrates minimalism with practicality, focusing on simple shapes like circles and rectangles, and using natural materials such as wood and concrete. The process involved thoughtful, step-by-step refinement to achieve a cohesive vision, balancing form and function. From initial modeling to laser-cutting wooden components, each stage presented challenges that required creative problem-solving to stay true to the intended aesthetic. The design’s simplicity highlights its functionality, as every material and shape serves a purpose without unnecessary embellishments. By overcoming unexpected obstacles, the designer managed to maintain the clean, functional look, resulting in a lamp that embodies both modern elegance and practical usability.
