The Challenge

The goal was to design a lighting fixture that moved away from traditional lamp silhouettes into something more architectural and modern. The challenge in modeling a parametric lamp is ensuring the "fins" or ridges are thick enough for structural stability while maintaining a hollow core that allows for seamless hardware integration and heat dissipation from the light source.

The Solution

This lamp was fully modeled from scratch in Fusion 360 using a parametric workflow. This allowed for precise control over the curvature and spacing of the base's ridges, creating a "ribbed" aesthetic that catches shadows and highlights beautifully. The shade was designed with a specific wall thickness to act as a natural diffuser, softening the light for a warm, ambient glow.

To turn the sculpture into a functional appliance, the base was engineered to house a standard AC socket assembly. Similar to your other lighting projects, this was integrated with an Alexa and Google Home-controlled smart LED bulb. This allows the user to adjust color temperature and brightness via voice or app, making the lamp a centerpiece of a modern smart home ecosystem.

Key Features

Design Process: 100% original parametric modeling in Fusion 360
Material: Matte PLA (Base and Shade)
Smart Integration: IoT-enabled with support for Google Home and Alexa
Hardware: Integrated standard electrical socket and cord set
Aesthetic: Modern architectural ribbing with high-diffusion shade geometry
Assembly: Multi-part precision fit

The Result

The final product is a testament to the power of custom design. Rather than relying on open-source files, this lamp demonstrates your ability to take a concept from a blank canvas in Fusion 360 to a fully wired, smart-enabled consumer product. The result is a unique, high-end functional art piece that combines mathematical precision with practical home automation.
