The Happy Lamp is a product that was developed through a rigorous design process that involved research, ideation, and prototyping. The aim of the project was to create a lamp that would improve the mood and well-being of the user through its design and functionality. To achieve this, research was conducted into the effects of lighting on mood and productivity, and also looked at the benefits of incorporating live plants into the design.
The resulting product is a sleek, modern lamp that uses cold, bright lighting to enhance focus and productivity. The lamp also features a small planter at its base, allowing users to grow their own plants and enjoy the benefits of nature even when indoors. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the plants in the Happy Lamp serve a functional purpose – they help to purify the air, improve air quality, and reduce stress and anxiety. The Happy Lamp is a beautiful and functional product that brings the benefits of nature into any space. Overall, the development of the Happy Lamp was a successful example of how design thinking can be used to create innovative products that improve the lives of their users.
This project involves conducting market research to benchmark current table lamps and positioning the product under development in a quadrilateral diagram based on simplicity/complexity and organic/industrial design to gain a clear understanding of the desired outcome for the product.
The contextual research for this project continued with the creation of image boards in different areas to keep the development on track and generate inspiration. Additionally, I defined a persona to gain a clear understanding of our target audience and ensure that the product is tailored to their needs.
The ideation process involved generating a variety of sketches and exploring different ideas and solutions to achieve the desired outcome for the product.
To explore a large number of ideas during the ideation process, I utilized deep learning and the text-to-image model Stable diffusion, which acted as a source for ideas that can serve as starting points and reference points for further ideation.
Concept development Using this method, several concepts were then created and combined to form the final concept for the product.
With a defined concept, I used the Autodesk Alias surface modeling program to recreate the concept and finalize it in the Keyshot rendering program.
