The name "Cactus" reflects the product's core concept – durability, strength, and the ability to adapt to changing environments.
The lamp's form borrows from the bold, geometric shapes and raw materials characteristic of Brutalism.
The rotating light element draws inspiration from the minimalist functionality of Chris Granneberg's design.
Directional Lighting: The ability to adjust the light direction provides users with greater control over the illuminated area. This is particularly useful in situations where focused lighting is needed, such as reading a book or highlighting a specific workspace.
Versatility in Use: The rotating head allows the lamp to adapt to different environments and purposes. For instance, the light can be directed downwards for task lighting or upwards to create a more ambient atmosphere.
Increased Functionality: The rotation mechanism expands the lamp's usability. When used outdoors, the light can be adjusted to avoid casting shadows on walkways or patios.
Constructed from a specific type of aluminum – cast aluminum – the lamp boasts superior weather resistance, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Cast aluminum offers several advantages:
Durability: Highly resistant to corrosion, rust, and extreme temperatures.
Strength: Provides a robust structure for the lamp.
Versatility: Can be cast into complex shapes, allowing for the unique form of the Cactus Lamp.
Inspired by the cactus metaphor and brutalist architecture, sketches and models were created to explore potential forms.
To bridge the gap between two-dimensional representation and a three-dimensional form, rapid prototyping with cardboard was employed.
The design transitioned into Fusion 360 to create the digital models. Finally, rendering software such as Blender allowed for the generation of photorealistic visualizations, effectively communicating the final design intent with clarity.
Brush Aluminum was chosen for its durability, weather resistance, and ability to achieve the desired shape.
