Cris‘ Plush Night Light Proposal

Glowshroom (Mushroom Night Light)

In a quiet park at night, glowing mushrooms appear on the grass and along the forest paths. During the day, they stay quietly under the trees, looking just like ordinary mushrooms. But at night, they light up their bodies and guide people who are out for a walk.

This lamp is designed for people who enjoy walking in parks and quiet places at night.

MoonRest (Moon Pillow Lamp)

The moon-shaped lamp is actually a pillow that can be worn around the neck. The idea came from my recent night flight, when I was very sleepy but couldn’t rest comfortably. This design gives both comfort and gentle light.

On the two ends and the sides of the pillow, there are soft warm yellow LEDs. They can be used as an eye-friendly reading light while traveling or relaxing. When it’s time to sleep, the lights can be turned off, leaving only the comfort of the pillow.

This lamp is designed for people who travel at night or need a cozy way to read and rest. It feels like carrying a piece of the moon with you, giving both light and comfort on the journey.

HeartGlow (Heart Lamp)

This heart-shaped lamp is designed for people who want to express love to someone special, such as parents, a partner, or other loved ones. Inside the lamp, eight red LEDs form the shape of a heart, symbolizing strong and passionate feelings. In the center, there is one warm yellow LED, glowing softly like a heart full of warmth.

In the final design, I choose the Heartglow. I decided to add some decorative elements: two veil-like pieces, similar to a wedding veil, will be sewn onto the upper ends of the heart shape to enhance its romantic feeling and visual layering.

For the main body material, I initially considered four options: cotton fabric, plush, silk, and polyester.

Cotton fabric: inexpensive and breathable, but the texture is rather ordinary and lacks a refined appearance.

Silk: smooth and cool to the touch with a luxurious look, but costly and less durable for long-term use.

Polyester: strong, durable, and affordable, yet the texture feels relatively hard and less warm or inviting.

Plush (high-pile fabric): soft, cozy, and fluffy, giving the product a cute and comforting appearance. It also provides warmth and perfectly aligns with the theme of “love and warmth.”

After comparison, I ultimately chose plush as the main material. Its softness and friendly touch make the product more than just a lamp—it becomes a warm companion. The fluffy look also enhances its cuteness and emotional expression.

For the added decoration, I selected semi-transparent organza to create the veil. This lightweight and airy material produces a romantic atmosphere while contrasting with the thickness of the plush fabric, creating a richer and more layered visual effect.

  1. Hi Cris, good job on your brainstorm! I think your mushroom and heart ideas are strongest! The moon is nice too but it’s overdone for this assignment so I like to steer students away from it. It’s also a challenging form inside which to diffuse light. I can’t choose for you but I like your heart idea best.

  2. Hi Cris
    Agreed with Becky! The mushroom will be the most fun and easier to do than the moon

  3. I loved the heart idea you had, it would really mean a lot to give it to someone who’s special. The 8 LED’s will make the heart illuminate a lot, the wiring part might be tricky but you got this. Can’t wait to see it come to life!
