THE SQUIGGLE- a floor lamp
Year: 2021
Project type: Personal
Materials: Mild steel
A minimal floor lamp, the idea for this piece came about when I was thinking of the interiors of a house I was designing. An important factor was the compactness- It needed to fit in a tight corner but still be a piece that was visually impactful. I also wanted it to be an economical product that reflected the fact that good design can also be affordable. The final design is essentially only two pieces of bent metal joined together with a modified bearing that allows it to rotate and the user to decide how they want it in their space.

HEIGHT VARIATIONS
The design for the lamp was reduced to a simple outline with one dynamic element- a pivoting mechanism that allows the lap form to be evolve according to the space available.
​
The feedback I received for the first iteration was that the lamp looked like it would tip over. The initial height was 7'.
​
The final design was shorter and had a side table incorporated into it to add more function to the product while also helping the stability of the structure.
