Design och produktutveckling av skandinavisk lampdesign

Sammanfattning: The following paper is the result of a bachelor thesis which includes the production of Scandinavian table lamp. The thesis is based on the generic product development method where each stage and steps are presented. This was used to get a better understanding of not only the Scandinavian design but also how a typical product development method can be used to create such product. The following research questions were asked to see how the project could answer any of the questions. ·         How do you create a lamp with Scandinavian design? From a production perspective, as well as very useful information for future project, the second research question was stated as following: ·         What´s the production cost for that lamp? To reinsure that the project follows the right path, both interior design and lamp designs have been thoroughly researched from a Scandinavian perspective. Important fundamental basics as usage of natural material, simple design and colorful details. The current marked has been carefully looked through to gather information on how others interpret Scandinavian design as well to seek inspiration for the project. This created several concepts that was valued and led to a final concept.  The result of the project created a lamp with the outside entirely made of stained wood with a body shaped like a standing rectangle. It ended up being 27,5 centimeters in height and a width and depth of 14 centimeters. By using milling, an endless pattern was created around the lamp to create openings for the light to spread around the lamp. Added to the lamp was a green lightning cord with a more discrete light switch in clear plastic. The only removable part is the top lid which is held on by two thumb screws that can be removed to switch light bulb. The total production cost was 384kr.  According to the costumer survey the lamp showed great results. The majority saw great resemblance of Scandinavian design and was also willing to buy it. The result has been declared as a success and has great thoughts and ideas for future projects.
