Starburst
Software: Rhino, V-Ray, Adobe Photoshop
Fabrication: 3D printed molding, cement casting, copper and chipboard lasercutting
The Starburst is a sculptural lamp.
It's crafted with the goal of building upon principles of fabrication, materiality, and geometry by engaging with those very principles in unconventional and subversive ways.
​
Each of the lamp's "legs" is cast with cement--a material associated with harsh angularity--to create a form that finds a resolution between that angularity and a more rounded outer curvature.
The cement legs were cast quickly and efficiently in a single reusable, easy-assembly 3D printed mold.
Inspired by flashing elements that bridge the gaps between parts of a roof, the copper components were laser cut to securely screw into each of the Starburst's legs.
