The ARIA LED lamp is a lighting design creation that captures the gaze and enchants the space. This table lamp stands out for its two-part structure: an outer shade with a sinuous design and an inner one, both screwable, that combine functionality and aesthetics in a harmonious blend of shapes and lights. The outer shade boasts an evocative shape, reminiscent of sea waves or dynamic movement, inviting prolonged and contemplative observation. Its form is not only pleasing to the eye but is also designed to enhance the diffusion of light, creating a warm and enveloping atmosphere.
The inner shade, also with a carefully designed structure, aims to direct the light upwards, thereby improving the light spread around the outer shade. The result is a play of light and shadow that adds depth to the surrounding environment.
ARIA invites customization: the colors of each component can be selected based on personal tastes, giving users the freedom to design a lamp that harmonizes with their home or work environment. This aspect is crucial since the choice of colors has a decisive impact on the lamp's final aesthetic, allowing one to express their personality through lighting.
The lamp is intended for use with 4.5W E14 G45 LED bulbs, a detail that ensures safety and durability by avoiding the risk of heat damage to plastic components. This wattage is ideal for bedside use or as a decorative table light, demonstrating that ARIA has been designed with great attention to both form and function.
To create the ARIA LED Lamp, one needs to 3D print the two shades and two rings included in the design, as well as procure a threaded E14 bulb holder (standard M28x2) in plastic, a power cable with a switch, and an E14 G45 LED bulb. For an even more immersive experience, a smart RGB bulb compatible with systems like Alexa or Google Home is recommended.
The 3D printing guidelines: a 0.4 nozzle is recommended, with 0.2 layers, 4 wall loops, and 100% rectilinear infill, 3 layers for the bottom shell, and 3 layers for the top shell, with the seam strategically placed at the back. The outer shade can be imported into the slicer and divided into parts to assign one color or more to the main structure and, for example, a neutral color like white to the central upper disk. The use of supports or rafts is not necessary, making the creation of ARIA within the reach of anyone with a 3D printer. To assemble the ARIA LED Lamp, fix the bulb holder with the two rings to the inner shade, connect the power cable to the bulb holder, and slide it through the dedicated slot at the base of the outer shade, then screw the inner shade to the second body using the dedicated threading. With a height of 16 cm and a maximum diameter of 14 cm, ARIA is not just a design object but an accessible project, offered as a free download for personal use or available for sale through a Commercial Print&Sell subscription plan.
