Dolium.
This project was sponsored by Anony. It was completed by myself and my teammates, Sam Mcilveen and Andres Vergara.
All shown drawings are completed by myself.
Final Design
Dolium is a 5’ tall floor lamp which allows for customized diffusion and projection of light. The modularity of this design allows the user to have more control over the lighting in their home and offers the ability to make small rooms feel larger. Dolium is an aesthetically pleasing piece both on and off.
Concept Development
Prototyping
External Aluminum Shade.
A Solidworks design of the circular pattern was CNC’d onto an aluminum sheet where the holes were then hand drilled to match the desired sizing.
The sheet was then bent around a piece of PVC piping to obtain the desired circular form.
Internal Polycarbonate Diffuser Shade.
For prototyping, a large sheet of tinted acrylic was used.
A mould was created to heat bend the acrylic sheet into the 180 degree form. This shade sits on the interior track for adjustable diffusion.
Rotating Mechanism.
To allow for multiple rotating shades, a Lazy Susan bracket was used. A 3D printed track attached onto the lazy susan allows for each shade to rotate individually from one another.
