Participating in an immersive design and fabrication study abroad program in Kigali, Rwanda, in collaboration with MASS Design, was a transformative journey. Working alongside traditional craftsmen, including sisal weavers (shown on the left), a woodworker, and a metalworker, I explored diverse techniques and materials. Our collective effort resulted in the creation of the Rambura lamp, designed specifically for Rwandan classrooms to extend study hours, offering variable brightness through an innovative shade stretching mechanism.
