Light of Life: A 3D Printed Lamp Inspired by Nature

Combining Art and Technology to Illuminate Your Space

Nature has always been a boundless source of inspiration in design. Fuzhou University's "Light of Life" lamp draws its form from the beauty of the forest, merging natural imagery with three-dimensional design to create a captivating artistic piece.

This unique lamp stands out from others with its complex and exquisite 3D printed design. The intricate modeling, made possible only through 3D printing technology, captures the rhythmic beauty of nature in an interlaced abstract form. Symbolizing the complexity and diversity of life systems, the lamp's design embodies the elegance found in the natural world.

The base of the lamp is partially embedded within the structure, allowing light to interpenetrate and reveal the spiritual and lifelike beauty of nature. The interplay between light and shadow creates a mesmerizing visual experience, transforming any space into a tranquil oasis.

The "Light of Life" lamp is realized through the use of Nylon Powder SLS printing and Metal powder printing technologies. These techniques enable the creation of the lamp's intricate details and ensure its durability.

Measuring 240mm in width, 240mm in depth, and 250mm in height for the main part, and 90mm in width, 90mm in depth, and 70mm in height for the base, the lamp is a statement piece that effortlessly blends into any interior design.

Siqing Wang, Xiaodie Shi, Wenfeng Pan, and Kim Wooseok from Fuzhou University collaborated on this innovative design. Their aim was to showcase the transformative power of 3D printing technology and provide users with a new sensory experience.

The "Light of Life" lamp project began in June 2018 and the final product was released in August 2018. The designers conducted extensive research on the relationship between nature and human society, aiming to create a design that promotes sustainable development and harmonious coexistence.

During the design process, the team faced challenges in seamlessly connecting different parts of the model and ensuring a smooth printing outcome. However, their meticulous attention to detail and dedication resulted in a flawless final product.

With the advent of 3D printing technology, product design has undergone a revolution. The "Light of Life" lamp exemplifies this revolution by combining bionic design with contemporary aesthetics. The lamp's sculptural form and intricate details elevate it to the realm of contemporary art, offering users a truly unique and immersive experience.

The "Light of Life" lamp has been recognized for its exceptional design and creativity. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the 3D Printed Forms and Products Design category in 2019. This prestigious award celebrates designs that showcase ingenuity, resourcefulness, and a commitment to improving quality of life through art, science, design, and technology.

Experience the harmonious blend of nature and technology with the "Light of Life" lamp. Let its enchanting glow illuminate your space and inspire a sense of wonder.
