Interactive mood lamp tray :>

1. Idea

-For my final project, I wanted to make something that as aesthetically pleasing that was not just for decoration but that was functional as well. Hence i have decided to make an interactive mood lamp tray that changes colour when you go near it. It functions as a mood lamp in which it brightens up the area with its soothing colours as well as serves as a place when you can keep items such as keys or makeup. I was inspired to make this after seeing a minimalistic mood lamp that was beautiful in itself but did not serve anyother function and thus i decided to build up on that idea but add my own personal touch to it. This is the lamp where i got my inspiration from!
