Throughout the entire project, I aimed to create a light which expressed the essence of the material given by JCEecaux, I aimed to try to create a light that was just much more than a recycled product of discarded posters, but a product that was stunning and elegant, that is ‘upcycled’. I had many up and downs along the way, and explore many different concepts and ideas.
One of the first problems I had was the difference in the properties of polypropylene and paper, having tested my ideas on paper, I soon discovered that those ideas would not translate onto the polypropylene, which only enforced the idea that my design had to be based around the essence of polypropylene to create a successful light.
Throughout the project I was conscious and aware about keeping it flat packed and to keep wastage to a minimal, so I strived to create my light out of a single sheet of polypropylene with little wastage. My design is a lamp, which is made out of a single sheet, which requires no clips of any sort, instead it has slots and tabs which connect together to hold the light together. The light twists at the bottom that allows it to lock in the light bulb holding it into place.
