“Relief Lampshade” is a design that emerged with an innovative product proposal. With this design, in addition to offering different experiences with a lighting product and the ambiance it creates; It is aimed to meet the lighting function by occupying less space than known lampshade designs, and to be produced with a very cheap and simple method.

In this direction, the design is created as a half lampshade vertically, unlike conventional lampshade designs. Being half with a relief approach allows it to be easily distinguished from familiar lampshades. The most important difference from other designs is that it takes up 50% less space on the surface on which it is placed and still fulfills the lighting function.

The design consists of two main shells. The front face is a plastic shell formed by the "thermo forming" method using a male mold. In the middle of the rectangular form, there is a relief embossed in 3D. Behind the shell is the back cover shell, which is the same size plastic and flat surface. Between the two shells, there is only a light source that will provide illumination and a metal foot that will keep it at the desired height. The rear cover and the front cover hold each other with a tight fit method and the product can stand on its own. Surfaces are painted with a reflective paint. In this way, an illusion is created with the design tool by aiming to reflect the space in which the product is located and to make the perception of being half vertically difficult visually. Alternative designs may emerge with the change of color, light transmittance and texture of the plastic material to be used in production.

When this design is compared with the conventional lampshade designs, advantages in terms of technique and cost emerge: with low production investment, low production cost, low labor cost, low logistics cost, ease of product diversification (easy to use color form, texture), small footprint in use and a different product range, the advantages of innovation opportunity in the market are revealed.
