ENGL201 Final Project: Blog post 1
IntroductionThe object I will making is FLOOR LAMP. The idea came from a home decor store that i walked by few days ago. The store is called Home Werx. It is really stylishly and modern. The mainly colour of their goods and the interior decoration colour are all white black and grey. it is really attractive. In their lighting section, they sell filament bulb with three different kind of vintage filament pattern. They said the bulb is designed as same  technique and materials used in early Edison bulbs. 



So my inspiration is from this light bulb. I'm thinking to make a standing base for it. the base will be metal frame, and the bulb is no cover. I hope the metal frame can maintain the same style as the vintage filament bulb feeling. The problem is the light bulb generates a warm glow at a low light level which is like 15 watt. I might make the frame with more light bulb input.

  1. Rowena, these bulbs are so cool! I have never seen anything like them. The idea of a light fixture that highlights the bulb, instead of hiding it, is very interesting. I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

  2. I particularly like the second photograph you included, and after seeing your final object, it might be nice to see you experiment with multiple bulbs and structures in the future. Nice work melding the vintage with the modern.
