The concept of “form follows function” is a principle in design and architecture that suggests that the form of a building or structure should be primarily determined by its intended function or purpose. This principle emphasises that the design should be practical and efficient, rather than being focused on
aesthetics or ornamentation.
aesthetics or ornamentation.
The shape with which it was decided to work, was born from a small game that tries to join points in a grid, until it achieves an octagon. This shape has a small intersection or cut formed equally from the join in the grid.
Product design project briefing for “CYLA” lamp for gamers based on the principle of “form follows function”. To design a new lamp named “CYLA” that is functional, efficient, and practical in its form and design for the specific use of gamers. The lamp should be based on its intended use and purpose, rather than on aesthetics
or ornamentation. The target audience for this product is gamers. These are individuals who play video games as a hobby or pastime. It’s important to identify the target audience when designing a product, as it allows you to focus on the specific needs and preferences of that group of people. In the case of the “CYLA” lamp, the target audience is gamers, so the design of the lamp should take into consideration the specific lighting needs and preferences of gamers.

The most complex part of this design is being able to find a way in which all the panels are supported by the same base, without affecting the shape. Several attempts and proposals for anchoring were made. In the end it was decided that the pens would be 2 pieces, the panel as such and the anchors which fit into a small slot in the panels and in the central pyramid, being almost completely invisible.
