With our research in Kintsugi Design, we knew we wanted to build some kind of communication device.  It was important to us that this device was a tangible 3-dimensional object as we wanted it to be present on a work desk always throughout the workday of an employee. We had the idea that we could use light to communicate different emotions. Thus it was decided that I should draw different concepts of what that might look like.

I drew different shapes and proportions of lamps. This was all done in an orthogonal view like what is seen on the underlying photo. The orthogonal view simplifies the drawing while still enabling clear visualization of the concept's shapes. This is advantageous since the drawings here are used as a process to come up with ideas and thus being able to get ideas more quickly.

Initially, I thought our communication device would be round but then I started to draw boxes...

I When i drew the boxes it made me think of the advantageous possibilities of laser cutting the lamps casing as well as the similarities with bees way of working thus the hexagons.
