Mirror Hooks
The Mirror Hooks project is almost complete. Currently the White Oak version is done and ready to receive jackets, scarves, and bags. Once I get back to school in a couple of weeks, I will have the Walnut version completed. It is great to finally have this project nearing completion. Here is an image that demonstrat
Orbit Light
All of the work on the Dome Light prototypes has resulted in the Orbit Light. The name is in reference to the way the light switch dial rotates around the glass dome like planets around a star. At this point, I feel that most of the design issues that surfaced during the prototyping of the Dome Lights has largely bee
Clip Tree
I ended the 3rd semester with a completed version of the coat tree/valet artifact that I am now calling 'Clip Tree' (sometimes sticking with a name is hard...). Here are some additional images of (thanks PD Rearick):
Half-Full Light
My last project for the school year is a light that uses a left over piece from the Dome Light project, a dimmer switch, dimmable LED puck light, RP components, an acrylic lens, and a cloth-covered cord. The light is designed as accent lighting. The top of the light rotates in either direction to turn the light on and

The Charmed Light will feature a bit of articulation which allows the light source to be angled as well as rotated in an circle relative to the base. I have been looking at ways to rotate and angle the light so that the angle is maintained once a person positions it. So far the most compelling solution for testing is to use lifting magnets at the end of the light head and slightly recessed within the metal tube that meets the head. The magnets have a vertical hold strength of 6 lbs. They also have mounting holes in the middle which, in my case, is perfect for passing wiring for the LED strips through.
This is what I have so far for the head:
