Research Abstract:
The research was based on the spacecrafts of extraterrestrial people. There are a lot of movies e TV series showing shapes and types of crafts. It was very cool to see how people imagine and how creative they are. We chose the very best formats and mixed them together to design the lamp.

Challenge:
In the UFO House, all the pieces were very easy to produce and cut, but in the final mounting of folding and fitting the grid, it sure did a lot of work. The grid is not as flexible as it looks and would come out gradually, even if it was docked. The way to solve this problem was to screw the grid into the wood.
