My plan with this project is to eventually fabricate a Lamp. I started by tiles that would panel onto the surface of a shape, allowing me to play with a variety of shapes, and possibly sizes for the lamp.
I want to make a lamp that would allow for me to attach different textiles such as various fabrics, yarn, threads, and woven fibres onto the surface of the lamp. In addition to the framed textiles, I intend to attach each larger panel using a strong thread or yarn to make the addition of the textiles not only aesthetic but also functional. I think that the light coming through each panel would look really cool and interesting.
That is why I chose to create panels, it would allow for a frame with holes to attach the textiles to.
With using both Rhino and Grasshopper, I can have fun with changing the different shapes and even different sizes of the lamp.
I will be making each of the panels by cutting wood using a laser cutter, I think the use of wood would allow for it to be lightweight.
What other materials would look interesting for the panels?
