Moved into a new flat last year. Created the layout in Blender to see how to arrange things:

Funny enough I didn't do any proper renders only have some viewport screenshots.

Screenshots:

Photos:

Further upgrades followed.

Second sub-project was the mini-bar haha.

Building:

How it turned out:

Sidenote: the breakfast table to the side of the fridge was also a custom built item (the chairs I got from a thrift store). In fact I ordered the tabletop first, the delivery guys damaged it so the company sent me a second tabletop, the damaged one I ended up using as the base plate for the minibar.

This Japanese-inspired lamp I designed to use up some crafting materials in my workshop like a near-endless supply of chopsticks from sushi orders that I built up over the years.

The building process..


First the base plate:

Cutting the chopsticks to the correct size using an improvised cutting rig.

Rounding the supporting rods for aesthetic effect (yes, I had to make the concave sander tool myself).

Drilling holes...

Beginning assembly.

The assembled lamp:

No glue, screws or nails were used, only friction in the assembly of the lamp to stay true to the more classic Japanese woodworking techniques.

This was more of a prototype, I may built another with what I've learned the first time around.

slow clap....well done.

I used trueSpace few yrs ago for aranging furniture too, not as much detailed tho. Later i did it only in 2D. Its so much easier to have the before you move :)

I love the chopsticks lamp... so nice.

Thanks guys!

I'm still working on improving the lamp design, may end up selling a few.
