Using 3dsMax modelling software, multiple table lamp designs were created. Through a rigorous critique process, a basic structure for the lamp was selected. Multiple refinements were made with iterations produced in 3dsMax and then printed 1/4th scale on a Prusa MkIV printer using PLA filament. Once the design was perfected, the lamp was printed in ABS on a Stratsys printer.

The name, Ascension, refers to the elevating spiral of light that emanates from the center of the lamp.
