LAMP TILE

The aim of the project was to design a 3d printed tile for a lamp. The idea was to which created defined shadows through slits of varying thickness across a fluid surface of changing volumes. The resulting tile has the infill exposed creating a progression of the labyrinth-like slit patterns which generate a more alluring light and shadow effect.

The openings in the form was subtracted from a curved structure in order to vary the openings. The created smaller openings where the slope of the primary form was deeper. The result was thinner horizontal lines where the slope was greater.

// FINAL TILE

The final layers didn’t print due to some errors with the machine, thereby leaving the infill exposed. We chose not to reprint the tile as the progression from the infill to the labyrinth-like slits generate more interesting shadows and patterns.
