Design Notes

Designing Without Measurements

A simple customer request turned a skull-shaped glass bottle into a clean bedside lamp without drilling, glue, or permanent modification. Instead of risking the fragile bottle, the design worked around the original cap: a 3D-printed insert with COB LED grooves, internal cable routing, and a top-mounted DC power socket. This post walks through the thinking behind a deliberately simple solution — reducing risk, respecting the object, and creating something practical that quietly does its job.
