Fabric Discoveries/Intentions:
– Coarse linen has the best texture when illuminated, very organic. Need to also test silk.
– Linen also will be the best choice if the lamp is going to be self-supporting in all orientations –with/against gravity.
– Seams are very important, they are very visible with illumination and they need to be tight, but also stragetic, and not just for structure.
– Color is still up in the air, the green was just the best scrap I had..
Design Goals:
Need to make/appropriate a “soft bulb” that affords for touch and provides an interesting How come…. Leds wired into a hanging fabric unit might do the trick.
No support structure.
Needs a usage. How much touch? Where would it pop? How can it be versatile and still kick..
