Free-D

A modular, shape-shifting light that invites users to sculpt light freely in space.

Concept

The theme of this project is "Light." My concept explores the idea that the shape of light can be transformed. I chose a flexible water hose as the lamp, allowing it to be bent into different forms.

Prototype

With water hose and an LED strip.

Shape Variations and Their Effects

Model Making

Connectting the LED strip to a removable and rechargeable power bank

The 3D-printed casing allows the light tube and power bank—or two light tubes—to integrate seamlessly, enabling infinite combinations and creating a wider variety of lamp configurations.

Final Showcase

One end of the light tube can be connected to a power bank. Both ends can be wirelessly connected to the light tube, allowing for creative shapes of the light.
