This lamp was designed using skills learned during a student collaboration with Nervous Systems.

I helped create the Corollaria branch sculpture currently installed in MIT’s Morningside Academy of Design.

Corollaria Branch was created from laser cut aluminum that was then riveted together.

My lamp body was designed in blender, and then I generated cell divisions across the surface.

Using the same parametric software, I generated larger “cells” that divide the surface into flat sheets.

These sheets are optimized to be laser cut flat, while retaining programmed curvature.

I consolidated the cell patterns and panel divisions.

The panels were laser cut, then “riveted” together, and I installed lighting fixtures inside.
