Weed

Weed is a portable lamp inspired by the form of wild grass. The lamp has two parts: a base and a slim stem with a light on top. The stem is lifted out of the base and held in the hand, so the light can be carried outdoors or into dark rooms. The base holds a wireless charging coil, and a receiver coil inside the stem collects the energy and charges the lamp. The outer shell is made by 3D printing in PLA, while the bendable stem is 3D printed in silicone around an iron wire. The lamp measures 110 x 95 x 460 millimetres.
