Product Design

I found this interesting table lamp. Although it seems very IKEA-ish, I found it at the Design Town website which was made by the moma store and it's called the Lily Lamp.

SO I'm going to discuss the three elements which are the most active with regards to this image

LINE
This lily lamp is made of many lines that define a group of petals layering in on each other. They are composed of slightly angled curving vertical lines that created the outline of each petal. As a whole, you see a flower of made out of petals which in turn are made out of lines.

TONE
There is a strong light dark contrast going on here and it is very easy to see especially with the white color of the petals overlapping and layering with each other creating these shadows on each other with the light source coming from within the lamp's core. These shadows and highlights strongly define the outline of each petal. The dark and light also adds a rounded look on the lamp and makes it more interesting. You can also see a gradation of white to gray tone from top to
bottom.
TEXTURE
Because of the lines and the play with the light and dark, a very interesting texture is created on the overall surface of the lamp. You see a texture made out of strokes of petals or a texture of curving lines. The texture is strong, sharp and layered and 3-dimensional. And if you look closely and can see the actual texture of each petal, you can tell that it is not smooth. Fine subtle horizontal lines run across each petal.
