4.2 Peacock on My Desk



Like its predecessor, the Desk Peacock is a luminaire that allows for a number of different tasks to be completed be it working in the home office or creating the perfect ambiance for a dinner party. Though varied, the ligt it projects is varied and adds interest to any room or occasion simply by being switched on.
The two light shades of the Desk Peacock is what allows for this variation in light. The heavier, perferated fabric of the rear shade casts shadows back on to a wall in order to create visual interest while the thin, glass panel on the bottom allows for light to fall evenly on the task at hand. In this way, the two different elements work harmoneously together to ensure the user both tranquility and productivity.

great model. i love the large image on the right. it is such a simple form, but the shadows and textures it creates make the image really dynamic. the colors you have chosen work really well together also, the yellow with the black. nice work, and an good improvement from last week

I really like your model. There are very subtle geometries, that make it very elegant. The fragile sticks poking through the the fragile surface is a nice touch. I agree with the decision to add another layer, i think it helped alot.

Great job
