Happy Camper Lamp

COURSE: LUMINAIRE DESIGN STUDIO

Close your eyes and transport yourself to sitting around a campfire. Warm flames dance against the dark night sky, illuminating nearby trees. This safe, cozy feeling was the inspiration for my luminaire

  • Infuse the warm, comforting feeling of a campfire into the home space. Reconnect the user with their nature, relieving any stress of the day.

  • Warm amber light, smokey smell of campfire, curling up with a book and hot tea, communing with nature

  • Camp core, honest, minimal

How might I design a lamp which evokes the warm, cozy feeling of sitting around a campfire?

Fabrication

  • CNC Router

    Using one piece of scrap wood, I programed the CNC router to cleanly hollow out the log.

  • Happy accidents

    When constructing my first prototype, I noticed how the light pierced through the cracks in the log. This unexpected feature highlighted the personality of the log in a beautiful way.

  • Laser etching

    I decided to laser etch the acrylic shade, creating a unique tree ring pattern making each lamp one of a kind
