A favorite design object: Water Wheels




Ten reasons why I love this design:

1. it's simple.
2. it's easy to use.
3. it's design for the other 90%.
4. it's easy to manufacture.
5. for it's price, it greatly helps the consumer.
6. it has no excessive characteristics.
7. it is entirely utilitarian.
8. it represents a direction that we all should strive towards.
9. It improves the daily quality of life.
10. it's beautiful.

Paper Lamp Test

So with my lamp loosely taped together I tried it out with a light inside. I used a candle opera and found it to be not that bright. I am going to therefore use a normal and higher watt light as a source and see how it turns out. I'll keep you posted on the process. On another note, my bended ply lamp is coming along and hope to finish it this week. Until next time...
