loved every bit of the video, the only thing i will maybe question is the packaging. no doubt this plays a role in the customer experience but the complexity is staggering: 3d printed inserts, painting the edges, rivets, custom cardboard, inside another cardboard box, etc etc. 99% of your potential buyers won't even see it, let alone appreciate it. i wonder if this along with some other things that are pretty/fun from a design standpoint, but undoubtedly add a lot of work to building your product.
@@adambkehl For packaging, probably 3 hours of 3d printing, 10 minutes of labor and $30 in materials. If he doesn't put a price on his own time or have a backlog of shipments, it's a great way to cheaply add to the presentation of the product.
yeah, I thought the 3D printed insert was very wasteful both of plastic that will just be tossed in the trash and of 3D printing time. The other stuff seemed fine though :)
I have a degree in product design and have been a specialist camera designer for the past 25 yrs. This has been a great watch, great video, well edited and the content is spot on. Keep it going and good luck :)
I really like your style to design. On top of that you got a great feeling for music and color. I really enjoy the narrated part, but just being able to see your work in an edited way is something else.

Beautiful product! Such a cool process, kudos for sticking to your guns and finishing your project. The packaging looked so nice, almost overkill - Love it! Thanks for sharing!
I understand the package, and I also love it, now days your are not just buying a product you're buying a complete experience... also if you as a designer take your time and effort to design this beautiful lamp of course you will design a beautiful package. I hope you gain tons of money to make more products
Great work, great product, great video. I'm in the middle right now of doing what you did. Deciding I wanted to make something and figuring out how to make it every step of the way on the fly. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and came across your video which re-inspired me to stick with it. Thank you so much for putting this out there and keep up the good work. I think you'll be a huge success if you keep doing this.
I really appreciate your perspective on the reality of the downsides of your process. I believe that as an arc for a successful designer (which I am convinced you are) is always best started doing every single aspect of something to the limit of your ability, regardless of cost and labor, which you have done admirably. Your photo and video skills are top notch. The missing piece is using your refined taste to refine your design to make it more cost effective, more manufacturable, and more beautiful. Best of luck on your journey.
So glad you caught your stride! Can’t wait to see your next product, and the one after that, and the one after that. Glad to see that someone with an idea like you can get the magic part after that to work out
Wow what a journey and talk about resilience. Congratulations on your product. It looks FAB. But being a one mand band. That deserves a lot of respect.
Wow, wow, wow! So inspiring, detailed, and amazingly edited. I can see the hard work you put into this video. All the very best for your new projects, and yes, I learned something new today! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
you're doing great job....I was designing a desk lamp,stoped that project but I'm gonna start again. thanks for the video it encouraged me not to focus on the result but the process of getting it.
DUDE SO AWESOME! you do amazing work, very inspiring! you have created so much value by going through this experience. who you are and the skills and knowledge you have now is the real value that comes out of a project like this.
It's not counterintuitive that that video blew up compared to the others. There is a reason that ASMR is becoming so populair, and your video was a type of ASMR. There is literally nothing of tactile experiences left when it comes to everyday user electronics, clicking buttons, dials and so forth are replaced by digital screen wich do not even give any feedback anymore when touched. This craving to the tactile experience along with your well designed and organised product workshop in the background is what made it blow up. Also something to keep in mind when designing new products btw.
Very interesting- especially we are in the process of making of our first light fixtures in our business. We are developing 6 designs now at the same time. The idea is interesting, but style of product that fits in modern interior is very important. For example if modern organic is the most common then Retro lamp will not suit. You need to analyse the market, see what style of lights sells the most. If interior designers didn’t show any interest- it could be sign to move to different design. You want a product that people want and want to pay for it. If you spend so much time on packaging- you have to charge for it, and you have to ask yourself if you want to pay extra just for this. Plus some people will see it as wasting materials.
Earned a new sub, I usually don't do comments but I am somewhere you was when you decided to start.. not many provide genuine contents on the hard part.. thanks mate keep up the good work👍
I'm a mechanical engineering student and i wanna get into the robotics and product design industry, your work here is inspiring. I wish to launch a product with a good design like yours in the market someday. Keep up the good work man. Cheers!
Great video... Really enjoyed the manufacturing montage. Just sharing a few random thoughts, in case they're worth anything to you: 1) Gramophone lamp is a very old fashioned (and non sexy?) name. I wonder if that's had any impact on things? Even calling it LP or Vinyl would be cooler imo. It's quite possible a high percentage of people watching your stuff don't really know what a gramophone is. 😅 2) Love your attention to detail. In the next version (that you say is never coming 😅) consider using torx or hex for those 2 screws at the back. That way they're less likely to set off people's OCD when the slots aren't lined up perfectly. Also they will look more premium (as opposed to "screws" which give that impression of something being "screwed together" rather than engineered, if you know what i mean?) 3) I've not seen any other videos of your product, and maybe this wasn't designed to be a guided tour... But i still don't really know much about it in terms of its actual functions. Does it need to be plugged in (now that i think about it i saw a battery somewhere). What's it actually used for (ie show it in different settings / use cases)? Is it primarily designed to have an LP attached, or is that just a party trick? Could also touch upon things like battery life, soft-touch (capacitive?) switch, number of leds, colour temperature, (ie. Some marketing high points). Sorry if you've done this in other videos and they were consciously excluded from this one... But do keep in mind that this is a lot of people's first ever touch point with your product - and sometimes going searching for more info is just too much effort (that's why 25k subscribers = 40 orders! It's not that 24,440 don't like your product enough... It's just that there friction in everything we do, and that cuts a lot off the top of that funnel). Anyway, I've rambled on for long enough. Congrats on your (first?) product, and look forward to seeing more 😊
wow, a biggie. thank you for compliments and all advices. 1. i thought it sounded industrial and resembles gramophone itself, but maybe you are right. 2. i used these screws on purpose, to emphasize that it's handcrafted, super hard to operate an automatic screwdriver with them. I will talk about these details, thoroughly in my next video. 3. and technical stuff, i do not like to include it in ads, partly because it's nothing groundbreaking, i have all those specifications on my website tho. i've talked about all the things that you mentioned, a reel that i say is polished, will answer most of your questions, it's pinned on my instagram profile, if you are interested) thanks again, yeah, it's my first product. Many to come!
... I really hoped that was a fan, from the thumbnail - one whose motor doesn't gunk up in 1.5 to 3y like modern cheapies do... Nevertheless, VERY COOL vid and nice lamp. I have been feeling the yearning of creating something myself for a while now. You're one of the weights on the scale of tipping me into doing exactly that.
i'm a mechanical design engineer and am experienced in going into production with lamp ideas from architects and so on (to be fair - you calculate, they say it's a bit expensive but pay in the end anyway, that said...). in this quanitity you're working on already it may me not the same profit but definitely much less work and more consistency if you let some parts pre fabricate. the PMMA (i guess) disc can be made easily for a few bucks by a specialist if you buy 50/100pcs at the time. Good work mate!
@@alimp_designs think about it: put as much work into planning as possible (design, production planning etc.). This work you only do once - but every repetitive work/task you do with your hands in production can most certainly made cheaper from somebody else due to cheaper labor or specialty equipment :) i don't know where you from, you're accent sounds eastern europe, but you stand in an jap/south korea elevator in the beginning; i'm from switzerland and worked a lot with companies in poland. somehow they are on top of the lamp game :D (for 3D printing and metal stuff i highly recommend xometry and materialise). looking forward to see more of you!
@@schmerol I live in China for now. And come from Turkmenistan, but I’m Russian, hence the accent. I couldn’t outsource anything for this project, because of budget constraints, and I totally agree that repetitive tasks should be outsourced, also, tasks where I’m not really good at, like animations or video production, should also be outsourced, but again, budget constraints))
@@alimp_designs yeah and as you said - its's all a learning curve, as long as you like doing it, no problem :) i'm sure you'll doing great at the next project!
this looks like great practice for when you find a product that really takes off, but lamps seems like such a competitive market, youd need to find a niche
Hi, designer here. Props to your skills! The problem I see is that your product mimics the style of industrial design, and it takes a lot of effort to achieve that. However, in reality, it's 100% handcrafted, which I think you're already aware of. I understand that during the startup phase, it can be difficult to jump straight into a fully industrialized production process. Perhaps you've considered transitioning to automation step by step as you grow and become more successful. That being said, I really like your use of 3D printing, and I believe it could serve as a great solution for a transitional design and production process. Maybe you could explore laser sintering the parts in metal and then using vibratory finishing? You could design the product in a way that allows an easy shift to more cost-effective processes, like machine pressing, for higher quantities and scalability.
Hi. You got everything right, these are all compromises I had to make, because I couldn’t afford or just wasn’t at a place when I can manufacture in big batches. And in future projects, I’ll modify my manufacturing methods, to become more cost-effective and with a potential to scale up.
@@julianeisenschmidt6372 and the reason it tries to look industrial, yet handmade, is because I’ve been doing this project, with scaling in mind, it’s made like any other industrial product, apart from brushing probably, but at home, not at a factory.

I wonder how much of that is driving up the cost of manufacture too
