For the Stanford class "Product Realization: Designing & Making", I set out to design and fabricate a bedside lamp that provided mellow ambient lighting for my dorm room and a safe place to store small every day items while sleeping. The lighting in Stanford dorms can be harsh, and as someone who obsesses over the setup and "vibe" in my room, I had to find an alternative. When I enrolled in this class, it was an opportunity to create the perfect lighting in my room. I tested over eight different light bulbs and a handful of diffuser material to find the perfect tone. The item storage at the base home to my phone, wallet and keys each night.
