The paper lamp project took shape as an exercise in developing a system of assembly that was integral to the design of an object itself. Rhinoceros and Grasshopper were utilized to create a zipper that was cut into the edges of the paper pieces that formed the bodies of the lamps. By integrating the elements of the lamps’ bodies and the method of assembly, these lamps blend form and function into a single harmonious whole. Since these lamps are comprised solely of strategically cut paper they can be shipped in a flat envelope rather than a box, making shipping these products economical and efficient.
