Lotus Flower Lampshade

myminifactory

I carefully crafted this lampshade to perfectly replicate the shape of a lotus flower, capitalizing on its naturally stunning and visually appealing form. During the design process, I deliberately aimed to create the flower so that the position and arrangement of the petals would expertly capture the light from a bulb in captivating ways, making it an absolute delight to behold. My ultimate goal was to envelop the light in a way that would skillfully soften its harsh quality, thereby creating a warmer and more calming ambiance. To bring this vision to life, I utilized Solidworks to create the Lotus, pushing myself to craft a shape as organic as possible - a true challenge, given the software's typical application in product design with more defined shapes and less natural irregularity. This lampshade was designed to seamlessly fit over a 20mm light fitting; feel free to scale its size within your slicing software to accommodate different fittings.
