Hide + Seek is a table light created for users with sensitive eyes, astigmatism, and those who work best at night. The lamp uses its own body as a diffuser, merging the base, shaft, and shade into a single continuous form. With two distinct settings, Hide offers a soft ambient glow while Seek provides a gentle focal light, balancing atmosphere and utility.
The project relied on both CAD modeling and hands-on prototyping, with more than 30 printed models used to refine proportions, wall thickness, and diffusion qualities. The project considered all aspects of the light, incorporating features such as cord storage, ventilation ribbing, and an adjustable track system.
