I wanted to create an artefact, which would be universal and easily related to. My idea was to create lantern design which would be suitable for any interior. During my project time I have created 10 concepts. Here is the Beta prototype which has been selected by the users survey.
#7.1: The Name
During these seven weeks, I have been working on the concept of creating universal lantern design. I've completed the following tasks: identification of customer's needs; development of 10 lamps/lanterns concepts; design and conducting of survey; etc. I have to honestly say that I fell in love with this project!
In this project you can really see the birth of my lantern design. Therefore, the logo and the name of my artefact reads:

#7.2: Images of Beta Prototype
The final concept idea was to have multiple easily assembled design elements from which any lantern can be constructed. The key feature of the lantern is the central piece to which you can attach all the side pieces. The design of these can vary. However they would be equally secured to the central element. Thus, thanks to the choice of the additional side items, you would be able to easily "update" the lamp/lantern design to your taste, which will be suitable for any interior. Using the lantern will be as simple as updating the cover on your phone!
This design can be used as a desk lamp as well as a ceiling lamp.

In the image below you can see how looks this lantern in the interior. I have
included these images from our peer David MORALES MARTÍNEZ, who has composed this photocollage using
pages from IKEA catalogue and my lamp design.
I asked his permission, and now you can see this amazing work in my project!
Thank you David!

Problem Statement: "In what way might we create a better universal lamp design."
User Needs:
1. Lamp design can be easily updated
The Lamp spare parts could be renewed easily or would be easily substitutable
2. The Lamp dimensions can change
The lamp size could be increased or decreased by the appropriate size of the side details
3. The lamp would be easily transportable
The lamp is easily folded, easy to disassemble or assemble
4. The lamp cover can be used for any design
The lamp cover can use photos, images, graphics or plain colour

#7.4: The Next Steps:
Development of additional side items that will help to update the look of the lamp. Thus
the client can "dress" the lamp for his or her taste!

Conclusion
It was amazing experience that helped me to reveal my abilities. I also met interesting people and really enjoyed the lectures.
Many thanks to you all!!!
