The problem
The Design Situation
Light shapes our world. It defines spaces. It tells us how to behave, when to walk, which way to go. It gives hope in an dark world. We often don't give much thought to the way light shapes how we feel, what we do and how we do it. But when we scratch below the surface of our every day lives, and give it some thought, light is essential to living our lives
The Design Brief
Create a light for work, rest or say

Student activity
1. Done
2. I plan for my light to be made out of 3 materials: recycled wood and laminate. I plan for my light to be a rest light
3. I plan for my light to go in a living room, it will be there for all uses when you only want a small amount of light or some colour in the room from the laminate reflection. The target market is Unisex and ages from 20 to 50. I want to make it a light with a large target age.
