That day we had to make a cardboard prototype of our final project. As we both love simple and minimal designs, We decided to make a cool and minimal smart lamp.
Our first challenge was to make a cardboard prototype to get a clearer vision of the dimensions and how all parts are assembled together.

Lamp sketch
First, we sketched the lamp to see how would we model it. One of the main reasons for drawing the sketch was to make a chase for the electronic components as our source of inspiration didn't have one.
Development/Implementation Process

Making base parts
Making base parts
To make the top and bottom of the base, we cut two hexagonal pieces.
The hexagon's faces are then divided into three pieces, each of which has two faces.
Making the lamp parts which consisted of 3 parts that represent the main structure and a rounded part to hold the lamp
All parts are ready
we started to attach the parts using the glue gun
We created the necessary slots to connect parts at a 90-degree angle.
Attaching side parts to the base
Making the frame of the lamp
All Good

To designate the power source input, we made a lightning strike sign out of tape.

One sheet of cardboard used to construct the lamp's frame was really frail, so we constructed two layers out of it and joined them together to make it stronger.
It was very weak
