Organic Root LED Lampshade 🫚💡
Inspired by Nature, designed with Grasshopper
This unique lampshade was designed using Grasshopper, a visual programming language for Rhino, which allows for the creation of complex parametric forms. With the Dendro plugin, I sculpted an organic structure resembling roots that spiral upwards, enveloping the LED flame tea light candle 🕯️. The design is inspired by the natural growth patterns of roots, creating a harmonious blend of technology & nature.

Achieving the desired result took a lot of trial and error 🤯. I printed and reprinted this design countless times, refining the settings & tweaking the details with each attempt. 🖨️ While the final result isn’t perfect, I did my best to fine-tune the slicing for a detailed and functional print. Each iteration brought me closer to the ideal outcome, though some areas still required careful attention.
