Product Teardown
Learning the components in a battery-powered lamp was crucial to building my design around the necessary internals.
Final Design Direction
Vision: a bathroom lamp that combines the calming feel of the ocean and the warmth of a bath
CAD Model Iterations
3D Model Iterations
These model iterations changed to accommodate 3D printing constraints and internal components.
