LED Project

L.E.D. Project

At first, we started experimenting with the material and trying out different things. We thought about making specific shapes such as a star, a martini glass, a flashlight, etc... However, after trying out these different ideas, we realized that creating specific shapes was going to be way too complicated and difficult to achieve. So, we focused on making something that would simply look good. We figured spirals generally looked good, especially when hanging from the ceiling, so we started from there. We took two coat hangers and shaped them into spirals. But then, we needed another element to hold the two spirals and to make things a little more elaborated. So, we added the middle piece to it.

Our first idea was to use the white tights and then add some of the pink tights over it to create an esthetically pleasing object. However, we realized that the white tights were too see through and therefore let the coat hangers show too much. So, we decided to use to pink tights.

After we had added the tights on the object, we added some elements to make it more appealing to the eye. First, we added an aluminium spiral to the knot at the top of the object. We also added a piece of the white tights to the spiral on the object.

At last, we added the light and saw what it looked like in the dark!
