Through different colours and sizes, I show the multipurpose of the lampshades. Whilst many may make connections with the natural world such as beehives and cocoons, others may have a more Sci-fi outlook on the lamps. Placing them at different levels adds to this affect, allowing one to interpret them in their own way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--FILE02--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mediafileviewer mfvimages\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading =\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofdesignleeds.com\/ds24\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Picture2lamps_Sofia-Collins-Redrad.jpg\" width=\"100%\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 461px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 461\/297;\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mfv-caption\">This is a follow up from the previous image, showing the biolamps side by side at surface level.

After working so much with wood that cages in the biomaterial, I wanted to use another staple material that would allow the biomaterial to move freely. As sustainability is at the core of my practice, I wanted to stick to that theme in all areas of production.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\n\n<div class=\"ilikethis\"><svg id=\"heartsvg\" viewBox=\"0 0 61 57.34\"><path d=\"m58.5,18.98c0-9.1-7.38-16.48-16.48-16.48-4.48,0-8.55,1.79-11.52,4.69h0s0,0,0,0c-2.97-2.9-7.04-4.69-11.52-4.69C9.88,2.5,2.5,9.88,2.5,18.98c0,4.48,1.79,8.55,4.69,11.52h0s23.31,23.31,23.31,23.31l23.31-23.31h0c2.9-2.97,4.69-7.04,4.69-11.52Z\"\/><\/svg>\n\n<p id=\"heartmessage\">Like this submission<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n-->\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\ndocument.getElementById(\"withme\").innerHTML = document.getElementById(\"studentpostname\").innerHTML;\ndocument.addEventListener(\"scroll\", function(){\nvar sitedescription = document.querySelector(\".site-description\");\nvar studenttitle = document.getElementById(\"studentpostname\");\nif(window.pageYOffset > 100){\nsitedescription.classList.add(\"highlightstudentname\");\nsitedescription.innerHTML = studenttitle.innerHTML;\n}\nif(window.pageYOffset < 100){\nsitedescription.classList.remove(\"highlightstudentname\");\nsitedescription.innerHTML = \"School of Design, University of Leeds\";\n}\n});\n\/*Heart a submission*\/\nlet theheart = document.getElementById(\"heartsvg\"); \/\/ assign the SVG class to a variable called theheart\nlet lsheart = localStorage.getItem(\"onheart\"); \/\/ access a key called onheart in LS, and assign it to a variable called lsheart\nlet heartmsg = document.getElementById(\"heartmessage\");\nconst enableheart = () => { \/\/ create a function to colour in the SVG when the SVG is clicked\ntheheart.classList.add(\"activeheart\"); \/\/ tell the function to add a class to the SVG that will add colour\nheartmsg.innerHTML = \"You liked this submission\";\nheartmsg.classList.add(\"addpinkcolor\");\nlocalStorage.setItem(\"onheart\", \"enabled\"); \/\/ activate LS with the key and a value, hereby called enabled\n};\nconst disableheart = () => { \/\/ create a function to remove colour from the SVG when the SVG is clicked\ntheheart.classList.remove(\"activeheart\"); \/\/ tell the function to remove the class from the SVG that added colour\nheartmsg.innerHTML = \"Like this submission\";\nheartmsg.classList.remove(\"addpinkcolor\");\nlocalStorage.setItem(\"onheart\", \"disabled\"); \/\/ activate LS with the same key but a new value, hereby called disabled\n};\nif(lsheart === \"enabled\"){ \/\/ if the LS key has a value of enabled then...\nenableheart(); \/\/ ...run the enableheart function, which adds the class to the SVG\n}\ntheheart.addEventListener(\"click\", function(){ \/\/ when the SVG is clicked...\nlsheart = localStorage.getItem(\"onheart\"); \/\/ ...I think the LS needs to run on itself\nif(lsheart === \"enabled\"){ \/\/ if the LS key has a value of enabled...\ndisableheart(); \/\/ ...run the function that changes the LS value to disabled\n} else { \/\/ otherwise...\nenableheart(); \/\/ ...run the function that changes the LS value to enabled\n}\n});\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Degree Show 2024 Sofia Collins Redrado BA Art and Design My practice encompasses areas of sustainability and bio-design, exploring design methods and thinking that considers the natural world as much as the human.
