<p><strong><strong><p>Abstract</p><p>This thesis was conducted by Jenny Jansson and Maria Madsen, students at the Faculty of</p><p>Technology and Science and the Innovation and Design Engineer programme at Karlstad</p><p>University, during the spring 2008.

Tutor for this thesis was</p><p>Lennar Wihk and the examiner was Monika Jakobsson of Karlstad University.</p><p>The given assignment came from FOLKFORM and the aim for the thesis was to create a</p><p>further development of two already existing lamps from an earlier collection at FOLKFORM,</p><p>“Jaipur” and “Modern Times”. The students used their creativity and ability to come up with</p><p>fresh ideas and new innovations with the lamps current design, but also considering</p><p>material, manufacturing methods and the environment.</p><p>Throughout the working process it was evident to create an exclusive concept yet a cheap</p><p>concept for each lamp, where the main criteria were to make the material enlighten the</p><p>feeling.</p><p>Apart from these concepts new ones for the packing was to be evolved, one concept for</p><p>each one of the lamps.</p><p>Through extensive research of materials, production methods and the market and consumer</p><p>needs, which generated in many ideas. The final stage was with the product of a concept</p><p>development. The chosen concept then generated in this thesis, with concept developing</p><p>and prototype developing, and four actual products, well conducted concepts of the lamps</p><p>Palmett and Rotation in the final stage.</p><p>The result of the thesis was, as mentioned above, four prototypes in 1:1 scale, an exhibition,</p><p>a PowerPoint presentation and a written thesis report.</p><p>Expectations are that FOLKFORM are willing to use the concept made by the two students in</p><p>their own making when it comes to the developing of earlier collections, were the lamps are</p><p>represented.</p></strong></strong></p>
