Choosing a final Concept (Feb 10)

This is the final selection to develop next

I call it -- the Synapse, inspired by the the brain synapse - the tiny gap between neurons that transmits information; the ultimate creator of connection; a task lamp that will b a main architectural participant  in a simultaneous interior design project: The Synapse Co-working space.

The task lamp itself will match a network of Synapse lighting that will be both decorative and functional.

The idea for the Synapse task lamp is to have two functions and two parts.

Function 1:
A bottom table mount part and a top ceiling light are joint together with a magnetic connector. The purpose is to mark a territory by providing a visual definition of space and mood light. 

Function 2:
The top ceiling part is separated from its bottom partner and angled to provide towards the desk top to provide task lighting for the user.

Following are Design Challenges to consider for the next stage of development:

1. How to secure the angled top part from shifting and moving?
2. How to incorporate a switch system while keeping the design clean
3. Material Considerations (initial thought: use resin)
4. Incorporate a inner lighting system that will simulate "Neuron Firing"
