Guided Course: Designing a Conceptual Lamp Step by Step
A guided course by Antoni Arola , Designer
Design conceptual lamps step by step, from initial sketches to a collection with refined details and coherence
Explore the fascinating world of lamp design and transform your ideas into unique lighting objects. Begin by germinating an idea, gathering references and inspiration to define an initial approach through sketches. Move forward by developing three design proposals, each with its own form, function, and concept. This phase will allow you to experiment and evaluate the potential of each idea, ensuring a solid foundation for creating a cohesive mini-collection.
The creative journey culminates in defining your lamp family, where you select a core concept that expands into a range of products. You'll work on refining technical and aesthetic details, focusing on proportions, materials, joints, and finishes. Finally, you'll present at least two versions of your lamp family, ensuring a coherent and professional design language. This process will guide you from conception to creation, perfecting each piece to achieve a stunning and functional result.
