BA Product Design: Anglepoise Model Making Final 2017

BA Product Design Stage 1 students start the year by creating a model of the Original 1227™ Anglepoise desk lamp as their workshop induction project. The aim is to ‘learn through doing’ fundamental practical and technical skills required in their future role as practicing product designers. Workshop skills employed on this project include sanding, milling, sawing, lathing, casting and spray painting a variety of materials at their disposal. Each student creates a unique presentation model of the classic Anglepoise® lamp. This project was conceived, organised and delivered by the 1st floor Model Making workshops and their technical team. Congratulations to Etienne Thevenet for his technical excellence and sophisticated paint technique, to Bradley Williams for his application of striking geometric pattern to multiple components, to Teetaj Senajak for an impactful modernist all-over splatter effect applied with remarkable control, and to Kit Ying Hui for a well-coordinated composition using soft transitions in colours that are right on trend. These 4 students received Awards of Excellence from Central Saint Martins and a Type 75™ Mini desk light to further inspire their studies at home. Film by Gareth Johnson
