folding paper lamp by Kouichi Okamoto
From the website:
This beautifully unique lampshade is expertly handcrafted from Denguri paper found locally in the Shikoku region of Japan. The honeycomb paper diffuses the light creating a soft, gentle glow.
It is designed by Kouichi Okamoto, and manufactured by Kyouei Co. Ltd., Japan.
He’s got some rather impressive and unique design concepts- you can see some more information on his designs here.
This is a really neat design, and I like the shipping/packaging of it. I’m wondering what this Denguri paper is?
Another fascinating lamp
My good friend Mélisande pointed out this fantastic, funky lamp- guessing quite correctly that I would want to add it to my collection of strange lighting designs.
Spoiler, though- as near as I can tell, it’s made entirely of wire. As a huge Slinky fan this works for me, but your mileage may vary…

He posted a CP at the link above, I highly suggest downloading it and trying it out. His work is easy to learn and remember, and makes for great on-the-road folding!
