Lacy Plywood Lampshades

'Light Modulator' by Lazerian

The talented Lazerian duo of Liam Hopkins and Richard Sweeney continue to amaze with their exquisite 'Light Modulator.' Certainly not content with being called a mere lampshade, this computer-generated form is carved from birch plywood using a CNC router. The construction is composed of 26 individual units to create its lace-like symmetry.

Lazerian works out of their studio in Manchester, UK, which used to be a hat factory.

Implications - With the advent sharing many elements of one's personal life on social media, there has been an increase in the importance of individuality. One of the best ways a company can attract the interest of consumers is by creating a product that combines tradition with a radical design. By slightly altering a time-tested product, the company stands a good chance of drawing interest from consumers in search of an original and uncommon look.
