I decided to apply the rules of the golden ratio to Cillian's design and use it to give it controlled proportion. It's a method that has been used down through the ages in architecture, design and is found in nature.
The wooden arch has been retained and fitted into a precast, polished concrete base designed to hold a variety of fittings.

The main idea behind this interpretation was to extend the use of the base and for a minimal investment create a range of products. Rather than offering just a floor lamp, the customer can choose from a range of different inserts which would suit various different room and locations in a house.

To visualize the concept, I made a 1:5 scale model of my concept. The base is hand-carved from modeling foam and the wooden insert has been recreated using cardboard.
