Tulip Lamp Designed in Excel
When you’re celebrating Spreadsheet Day on October 17th, you might want to light your office with this lovely TulipK lamp, designed in Excel by Ben Geeblen. The lamp’s six petals close and open, and the design was inspired by the tulip on his wedding invitation.
Geeblen describes the design process:
The holes were designed with Excel. I wrote a spread sheet to determine the locations of all 2374 holes punching through one petal and I create an STL for those. After that it was just a question of doing a Boolean subtraction and adding the rim.
