Big lampan lamps: designing for DIY

Published: 26 October 2009 Publication History

Abstract

I present a design of repurposed IKEA lamp that was shared on a DIY website and became popular. Based on the considerations that went into the design and the online discussion on the community website, I discuss requirements for "designing for DIY" as a new design approach to serve the tip of the long tail of design.
