Ideation
The design of this lamp drew inspiration from the architecture of gothic cathedrals, mainly focusing on those from the late middle ages. In the early stages of sketching I tried to focus on what details I wanted to include and how they could be incorportated into a more reduced and widely approachable design.
Final Product
This luminaire draws inspiration from the elegant forms and intricate details that define the style of gothic architecture. It’s geometric design evokes the grandeur of vaulted ceilings and stained glass windows in a more reduced, modern language. The rice paper shade casts a soft, ambient glow that transforms any space into a serene sanctuary.
