Paper Lamp 01

The first semi-realized lamp following experimentation with paper spraying. The material and technique, along with its toroidal column form, allow the lamp to be self-supporting despite it’s extremely thin wall thickness - which allows the diffusion of light creating a beautiful, soft glow that reveals the texture of the plant fibers.

Because the resulting material is so thin, it seems to be in a constant state of fluctuation in response to the ambient humidity of the space it occupies.




Paper Lamps are made to order.
