This thesis investigates the possibility of using modular design for a luminaire for student housing. Annually, over two thousand students make their way to Stockholm to pursue a new education. With the change to a new county, and unfurnished apartments, students are now faced with less-than-ideal lighting conditions, which can cause eyestrain and headaches and drastically reduce their experience studying. Through experiments, and some background research, I have developed a design that is suitable for lighting student housing; while also making sure recommended light levels are achieved and students can have good quality lighting while in their housing. This fixture is created using a modular connection system, which allows students to customize the lighting as they see fit and enables the user to create a unique condition that reflects their own personality. The modular system could be expanded in the future to welcome a wider variety of solutions and make each application unique.
