Specimen 01 takes inspiration from the radiolarian, a single-celled ocean-dwelling organism that generates an elaborate and beautiful protective skeleton from abundant ocean minerals. To do rapid form exploration, Tim Zarki developed a process in Grasshopper to map a pattern onto revolve forms of my creation. He used these models to evaluate the stance and proportions of the design, and how it conveys emotion. He decided to embrace 3D printing as a viable solution for the creation of the complex lamp geometry. The other elements were created through traditional means. The finished lamp is ideal for use as a table lamp to provide practical illumination to part of a room. Turning the switch allows for the brightness to be adjusted.
