Structural Skeletons

Before fabric or paper is applied, every lampshade begins with a structural framework. These wireframes define the shape, proportions, and geometric relationships that determine the final form.

Cylindrical Frame

Classic vertical cylinder structure. Provides uniform light distribution and stable base geometry.

Conical Frame

Tapered cone geometry. Creates directional light focus with elegant silhouette.

Hexagonal Prism

Six-sided polyhedral structure. Offers unique shadow patterns and modern aesthetic.

Square Prism

Rectangular frame with square cross-section. Provides contemporary geometric form.

Engineering Principles

Structural design must balance aesthetic goals with functional requirements. Frame geometry influences material tension, stability, and overall durability.

We analyze load distribution, stress points, and material compatibility when developing wireframe designs. This engineering approach ensures long-term performance.

Custom Geometry Development

Custom geometry design process

While standard shapes provide reliable foundations, custom geometry allows for unique design expressions. Complex forms require careful planning and precise execution.

We can develop custom wireframe structures based on your design vision. This process involves geometric modeling, structural analysis, and prototype evaluation.

Form and Function

The relationship between geometric form and lighting function is fundamental to lampshade design. Shape influences light direction, shadow characteristics, and overall illumination quality.

Understanding these relationships helps us recommend appropriate geometries for specific applications and lighting goals.
