Dc for Life

本設計引用中國傳統燈籠的原型，形塑出燈具外層的薄殼物件。表面鏤空的圖樣是利用參數衍生運算軟體Grasshopper設計而成，簡單、豐富又多變的Pattern藉由參數設定，可以彈性調整圓圈大小、厚度、疏密、間距、深度等，客製出各種喜好的比例。參數衍生設計加上3D列印技術，成就了新時代的設計語彙。

The design takes influence from the iconic look of the classical Chinese lantern and utilizes it for the exterior of a lamp or vase. Using the software, Grasshopper, we were able to produce a shape with derivative patterns. The simple, rich and varied pattern is adjustable through parameter settings according preferences, including circle size, thickness, density, distance, and depth. This parameter design paired with the RP manufacturing technology also us to achieving a futuristic new design.
