Wall Lamp CAD + Manufacturing Package
Final concept render — brass finish with opal globes (wall-mounted configuration).
Industry:
Consumer Lighting / Home Decor
Role & Scope:
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN · SOLIDWORKS CAD · LIGHTING DESIGN · DFM · RENDERING
Tools & Methods:
SolidWorks (parametric CAD + drawings), KeyShot/Render workflow (concept visualization), iterative design reviews, standard-component referencing (E14 socket + globe fitter sizing), DFM-minded detailing for assembly + wiring.

CAD Development & Engineering Proof:
SolidWorks model and metric drawings showing globe sizing, wall mount, wiring exit, and mounting hole layout.
Key features:
- Wall-mounted linear rod design with repeated globe modules
- Clean, symmetric layout (3-globe version + optional 5-globe variant for costing)
- Standard lighting-component integration (globe + fitter approach)
- Mounting + wiring considerations built into the design
- Finish-ready concept renders (brass + painted options)
The Challenge:
The client had a clear visual direction but only rough sketches and references. The goal was to translate the concept into a manufacturable wall-mounted lamp while keeping the design minimal, symmetrical, and easy to produce. Key unknowns included globe size, mounting approach, wiring exit, and how to assemble the globe/shade using realistic off-the-shelf lighting components.
Key constraints:
- Must be manufacturable with realistic assembly and wiring routing
- Keep geometry simple and repeatable for production
- Match the client’s intended proportions while ensuring stability and wall-mount feasibility
- Designed to accommodate supplier-selected socket variations with minimal changes
Outcome:
Delivered a complete SolidWorks CAD package including:
- Fully editable 3D model (final configuration)
- Metric 2D drawings suitable for manufacturer review
- Photoreal renders for concept approval in multiple finish directions
- Exported 3D files for visualization and supplier communication (STEP/STL)
What this project demonstrates:
- Turning rough ideas into a production-ready CAD model
- Strong sense of proportion + clean product surfacing
- DFM thinking (assembly, wiring, mounting, standard parts)
- Clear communication through drawings + renders for fast supplier feedback
Process & Key decisions:
- Started from sketches + inspiration references to lock the overall proportions and “wall sculpture” feel.
- Validated the design around standard lighting parts (globe size + fitter concept, E14 socket assumptions) to avoid impossible geometry.
- Iterated through multiple mounting and rim/overlap solutions until the client preferred a cleaner “spaced” layout.
- Added practical manufacturing details: wall mount plate, mounting holes, and wiring exit.
- Produced manufacturer-friendly drawings in metric after final confirmation.
