LED Corner Joint — Aditi

Context: Academic project at
Contribution Period: May 2020

Summary

A 90-degree joint for LED tubes, designed for the Materials in Human Experience course at DIDI.

Problem

I wanted to improve how LED tubes connect around room corners and soften the transition between the solid fitting and the light.

Solution

I designed a corner joint with graduated slits that widen towards the tubes, then explored its form through CAD and 3D-printed PLA prototypes.
