Accordion Lamp
Summer 2024Bristol board, vellu, brass paper fasteners, lightbulb
18cm. x 14cm. x 14cm. (compressed height, not including handle)
This lamp prototype is inspired by the silhouette of black Danish pendant lamps, and the common use of paper folding in lamp making.
Together, they create this compressible ambience lamp, allowing one to adjust the brightness in the room with a simple locking mechanism. Its size and handle make this a portable lamp, so it can also be easily moved about a living space or with a person.
The intended materials for a final product would be powder-coated steel, vellum, and use a battery-powered bulb rather than a wire.
