- I've partnered with Gantri to produce my new table light, Encore! My Instagram followers asked me questions about the design process, and here are my answers.
You can find Encore on the Gantri website here:www.gantri.com/products/10081...
Gantri is an award-winning digital manufacturer of direct-to-consumer designer lights. The company offers a new generation of lights that are exclusively created by leading global designers and sustainably made at the Gantri Factory in California using proprietary 3D printing. Gantri’s innovative design and manufacturing technologies give every designer the freedom to bring their unique ideas to life, making great design radically more accessible, affordable and sustainable.
as an ID student, your videos inspire me SO many good feelings and expectations about my career. Specially since you're so young!
Excellent video, love hearing your insight and thoughts behind the design.
I love the intention in your designs. Everything has a reason and a point! great design!
Superb video and great job on your lamps! Thanks for sharing. Hearing how you found inspiration in curtains has given me some ideas for where I could look for inspiration.
I studied ID at uni, although mostly focusing on digital products, but now that I have a 3D printer I’m getting into designing physical things (particularly with the goal of making a lamp), which opens up a whole new world of considerations like tolerances and such.
Cheers
Please do a video about your design process for this lamp (from idea to 3d modeling) I would love to learn how you do this. Really inspiring and well made video
woww 🤩🤩, truly inspiring
Thank you so much!
Your videos are so well packaged, I’m an ID student at RISD and this felt like a semester’s worth or process and detail.
That’s made my day thank you!
The lamp looks amazing! Great job on your second lamp with Gantri!
Thank you so much!
I'm going to be graduating in May, super nervous. You always inspire me Sam. Thank you.
I’m glad I could help. Good luck and congratulations!
👏absolutely interesting and well done!
i think the abstract interpretation came out really well! Much better than some of the more literal concepts
Thank you! Yeah I’m almost embarrassed about showing the first sketches 😅 but it’s all part of the process 💪
Great video! I was waiting for a video talking about your Encore lamp. I would love that design process content!
Thank you! I’d love to look back at the process in more detail
Design process on this topic will be incredible!!
I’d definitely love to show more of the design process
Awesome! Great video!
Thank you so much!
Hello Sam! I really love your design and your creations! I want to ask you if it will be possible to do a Shapr3D tutorial on how you did the wave effect?
Hi Sam, I'm your new subscriber and I'm very glad to know this channel. Thank you! : )
Welcome! Thank you!
A big Yes for Season 2
Thank you! I’ll plan some content 💪
hey man,too much thanks for you,and I have a question,the lighting of the behance product is so difficult，so fresh，Look forward to your answer
It's great to get into the mind of a industrial designer and learn about Gantri and the 3D printing process. I went to Art Center in Pasadena and have a life long passion for product design. I was thinking about getting the Gio Task Light but it's a whopping $298! Also, it won't be shipped for 3 months! Go figure. I read a review too that described the dimmer switch as rather cheap feeling and the light does not dim smoothly. Is this true? Yes, I could replace the bulb with a LIFX bulb but since I want to use it as the primary task light for my desk I would rather keep the lamp analog. I'm really on the fence about Gantri. I admire their designs but I'm afraid that the quality won't be what I'm expecting. It's 3D printed, great, but if it feels like cheap plastic and doesn't dim smoothly does it matter?
Good job
Thanks for sharing the steps of the collaboration.
It did feel strange the proportion of time spent in Keyshot compared to the time spent on 1:1 mock-ups that can print overnight. If the reasoning is to test the effect of different environmental light conditions, nothing beats real life empirical test, for a design that’s easy to print like this one.
For sure seeing it in the real world is best, but there’s always a trade off - my printer could manage a full sized light in about 5 days, whereas I’d be able to see the data in keyshot in about 30 seconds once the scene was set up
It's really interesting seeing your thought process when forming a design idea from scratch to production. How would one do so as a freelance industrial designer working for clients?
Thank you! Freelancing may be slightly different - the goal will be to meet the needs of their audience instead of your personal preference. But apart from that, the process would be similar!
what filament do you use to get that frosted diffusion?
Hey, could you explain a bit more about how the cooperation with Gantri works? I have seen you can apply as designer, then once applied you are accepted or not and then what happens? Do you apply with an idea or do you just in general apply as a designer? Thank you for your time, I wanted to get some clarification on this.
Hey! I applied before their current system was in place, so I’m not sure how it works these days.
But I applied with some examples of my designs, but they weren’t the exact idea that I wanted to make.
I hope that helps!
@@SamDoesDesign ok thank you very much, currently they have a system if I understood correctly where you really apply as a designer not with a design if you get what I mean. They want you to link your portfolio and answer motivational questions etc. But yeah thanks anyway, do you think it's better to link a real portfolio or is for example a link to Behance profile a possibility, in your opinion what do you suggest?
Would be interesting to see the other steps.
I’d definitely love to go back and see how I did it
Waht 3d printer is that?
10:48 did you just say shelfish 😂😂
can you go through the process you took to make this ?
I'd love to! In the meantime, I covered the start in my Design in Process series, and also showed more of the process in my Banton Frameworks glasses series
why are U always concerned about time and the length of the video, we like your long videos specially when descripting design process .
Haha thank you! I'll go into more detail next time. Got to save some info for future videos though!
