Researchers are discovering that the lighting sector is placing more of an emphasis on sustainable resources, cutting-edge technology, and ecological responsibility. The challenge facing today's craftsmen is producing functional items that complement urban growth and lifestyle choices. The thesis project focuses on designing and developing a wall mounted luminaire product integrating modular design using biodegradable materials such as banana fiber, bamboo cane along with wood. Further, the project discovers the possibility of implementing ‘Do it yourself’ system in the product wherein user gets the unique experience of knitting bamboo cane to create patterns and build the whole luminaire product by themselves. Various mockups and test prototypes have been made to investigate pain points and to undertake various design decisions keeping primary focus on ‘Do it yourself’ kit. The current project also collates business model by designing a single foldable packaging with the short story of the people and the place about the craft training organization. Packaging also comes with a nicely designed user instruction manual along with all the components have been included. Light source will have LED Opal strip with the corelated color temperature of 2700 K, warm chosen for the decorative purpose and to create ambient and cozy atmosphere in the living spaces. The luminaire product overall conveys sustainable design that allows biodegradable materials to be recycled into a new product that encourages the circular economy or be discarded in a landfill after its intended lifespan has been fulfilled.
