The design of Infinite Eight is inspired by the concept of rebirth, one of the hidden symbols of the number eight. The concept of rebirth will be implemented in the design of the luminaire by including one continuous form which expresses infinite life. The change in depth, which can be found in the center of the fixture, represents overcoming life’s obstacles and continuing on the path of life. It includes one sleek form with simple lines and a contemporary finish, creating a statement piece.
These sections help explore the development and make up of the light fixture. It provides the manufacturer with the necessary dimensions and details to develop the piece. It also addresses common issues with lighting design such as glare, disguising the junction box, and the placement of the light within the structure.
After the design phases were completed, the light fixture was modeled and developed using aluminum, frosted plastic, and other materials to create a mock model. The concept is enforced in the design of the fixture by including curvilinear lines which create three dimensional forms.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
​
The project’s goal was to create a custom light fixture to be used in a residential dining room. The project was done in collaboration with Golden Lighting. Before developing the Infinte Eight, seven other light fixtures were sketched and explored. This project tested the overall understanding of product development from the preliminary phases through production.
​
ADDITIONAL: This project was one of the few collected to be displayed at the 2019 Dallas Market
