Lash Light: Emotionally Durable Modular Lighting

by Chris Scope

Project Description

The Lash Light modular lighting system embodies the fundamentals of light. The image of a fireplace creating a warm ambient glow is suggested in the light units leaning together in a decorative structure, connecting the user to the comfort of home and safety. When there is a task that needs to be well lit for proper focus, the Lash Light can be easily mounted on top of the workstation. If you need to move around in the dark, each Lash Light is independently powered and can be carried to illuminate the way. 

The Lash light gives users the tools to create a structure of their own, with an opportunity to play with different forms for different tasks, adapting the object to their changing lifestyles and changing needs and personalities. Through these design features, the user should establish and maintain a strong emotional connection with the Lash Light, which becomes an emotionally durable product. This relationship maximises its lifecycle, supports sustainable behaviour, and resists the impacts of overconsumption.

Bio

As a product design student, I have come to appreciate the versatility that comes with the discipline. I have developed a close attention to detail and a greater understanding of technical construction. Through the practice of self-led design work, I have developed an appreciation for conceptualising and extending ideas with a minimalist design approach, as well as a focus on sustainable design practices. I have a strong desire to learn and grow from my experiences and those around me.
