Tiivistelmä
The main objective of this thesis was to redesign an existing wooden pendant lamp by applying the principles of lean design. The aim was to improve production efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize waste.
Nowadays, there are many handmade lamps in the market, and these artisanal designs are usually expensive to produce and generate a large amount of waste of resources.
The work was carried out using a qualitative methodology, based on bibliographic research, compilation of information from digital sources, critical analysis, and interviews with design experts.
This thesis is the result of a process of analysis, redesign, and prototyping. The project is mainly aimed at designers and small companies that seek to manufacture products in a more efficient, sustainable way and adapt to current market needs.
