Gemini Lamp

Lighting
Wood Turning
Product Design
This lamp was developed after a semester-long study in advanced wood turning.  




Split-Turned Lamp, LED Bulb, 2022





Process - Prototype 1: Exploring form, shape, and process. 4 Part split turning. Outcome: Looking for more extreme curves in next iteration.



Process - Prototype 2: a 9-part split turning. Outcome: More extreme curves achieved but the lamp walls became too thin. Looking for happy medium between P1 and P2.






Process - Prototype 3 - Close to final form, I created more dramatic curves and turned a base for the bulb
