FORM & LIGHT
Sculptural form & light
Sculptural Lighting Studies
Related explorations of ribbed forms, rotation and light.
THE PROJECT
I explored a family of curved, ribbed forms through sketches and renders. These studies develop the relationship between an object’s outer silhouette, the spaces between its elements and the light within.
01 / THE PROCESS
Developing the form
The sketches examine variations in profile and rotation, using repeated elements to define an open structure. They record different ways of shaping the object and considering its relationship with a light source.
02 / THE PROCESS
Testing different settings
I carried the form into two rendered studies: a fire-pit/light concept and a standing light. Placing a related form on a stand changes its proportions and its relationship with the surrounding space.
03 / THE PROCESS
A second application
The fire-pit/light render holds the form closer to the ground, with the repeated ribs enclosing a glowing centre. It provides another visual test of the same family of forms.
OUTCOME
The work, brought together.
Together, the studies show how I use sketching and visualisation to investigate a form across different product contexts.
