Emphasize & Define
The environment I chose to work with was the lakesides.
The main purpose for my design proposal was to compensate the light patches left by stronger lamps on one sides of the roads and for safety considerations.
Combined with the TAIDA analysis of the trends in lighting and furniture design industry from this year's Stockholm Furniture Fair, I would like to propose a bollard light concept which is aesthetically beautiful even during the daylight, and also could provide an ambient light distribution within the range of 120º on the ground.
Ideate
These sketches show how my concepts evolved and refined through the whole process.
I pursued to implement the natural and organic forms into the design.
The biggest challenge was to solve the light pollution issue and to choose the appropriate materials and forms to cope with the nordic climate.
In the end, I finalized my concept as a 1-meter tall bollard light with an aluminum case and a semi-transparent plastic case.
The pre-defined LED inside was in 3000 K and 4000Lm.
The whole case can be mounted on the ground with a mounting plate, and the different pieces can be screwed together.
Because of the triangular prism form, I named the bollard light Triangle.
Prototype & Test
Before and after the final concept, I made prototypes out of cardboards and aluminum foils and used the pre-defined LED module to test the light distribution.
