Origami lamps, where and how?

Origami lamps

Following our last article on lighting that featured a organic shapes lamp made of bamboo and cotton called Z1, do you remember it? The idea came to show you other "similar" options. It is not the first time we have talked to you about origami lamps As a decoration proposal, but if we tell you where to find them or how to make them.

Origami is the art and skill of giving a piece of paper, conveniently folding it, the shape of certain beings or objects. We also know it as origami and it's not just child's play! If you do not look at these lamps, they are ideal for create an intimate atmosphere with a nice soft light.

Origami is a Japanese art that allows us to create numerous objects on paper, through folding it. These objects also include lamps of various designs. The simplest ones, you can reproduce them using one of the multiple templates that you will find in places on the net like Pinterest.

To make them you will only need an appropriate paper that resists the marks and folds necessary to reach the final shape. It is best to look for it in specialized stationeries where we will also find a greater variety of designs, being able to choose between smooth, stamped or metallic finished papers.

If working with your hands is not our thing, we can turn to the shops of small artisans. On Etsy I have found two with especially cute designs, but I'm sure they are not the only ones. Studio Snowpuppe and Orikomi are the stores that a priori have attracted my attention the most and that I recommend you visit; They have both hanging origami lamps and floor lamps.

When making or buying an origami lamp we must always bear in mind that the light power it won't be big. Origami lamps are used to give atmosphere to a room and decorate it, not to illuminate it. Do you like them?
