Welcome back from vacation. Welcome back to real life work done, gym, queue at the counter for the emergency shopping 19.15 behind the elderly couple that no one knows what to do around this’ so … I know it's tough! Hard, but we must accept it and get busy. So… down!!! In this article I made a nice ride in recent history to discover that paper was used for clothes. In this another article I found some interesting projects that involve boards, bottom, ecology and fatigue in the legs. This round I discovered that some designers paper, cardboard and derivatives produce various objects and furnishing. The lamps for example!

Raise your hand who in his life has never owned a paper lamp, those type of ball with the structure of wicker which hangs from the ceiling. Again, as in clothing, Returns the question on durability product should not be overlooked, such as a lamp that takes dust how i clean it?

I love paper, because of its ease of use and to the use more disparate that it is, then economic, recyclable and everyone can play. More democratic than this one dies! But let's say that I do not expect that an object made with paper endure for ever and perhaps the point is this: if it does not last forever and we already have many problems to digest the speech recycling for all… are we sure it's fine to use it in the name of the design? However… while I think I enjoy the projects below.

Paula Arntzen

Undoubtedly this Dutch designer has experienced much to have the ideal domain on the material so she can create products as these lamps, which exposed in Arnhem Fashion Biennale 2009. They are the perfect example of the high quality of the paper combined the high design of the cutting method that create superb decorative products with the wonderful play of light through fluorescent paint. Light, theatricality and the pursuit of perfection in the details. Obviously this project has not only paper in its portfolio and then to get around on her website you go here.

Inga Sempé

The French designer has worked for design firms across the world as Cappellini, Luceplan, Edra, Baccarat Artecnica, just to name a few. Particularly attracts me the lamp he designed for Artecnica, entirely of paper and inspired by the oriental rice paper lanterns. The interesting thing is packaging, In fact, when you buy come with a sleek and slim box inside which is a new approach to white light. Beautiful and simple is called Double Stray Lights and you can buy here, while visiting the site of Sempé means go here.

Japanese paper

Do not miss the simplicity This project made in Japan. For information on the project will be on site Kyouei Design and makes a nice tour of the products reported by these three creative dealing with everything from design to photography. Many interesting projects and fun, but above all, simple, or the materials used for the production or, which is good. The lamp in question is called Honeycomb and the value of the product lies in the fact that use their national product paper denguri (several sheets of paper thin simulate the hive) plus when you close “shell paper” occupies only 2 cm. Excellent example of intelligent design.

Yu Jordy Fu

In this case it is assumed that you love the ancient Chinese art of paper shadow theater. Lamps, projected by this multi-faceted character named Yu Jordy Fu, are real stories 3Q told with ad hoc panels of paper cut to charm with light and shadow. The paper is strictly recycled and cutted hand, The lamps are part of the collection call Clouds lamps and you can find information here.

David Gardener

This young boy from England who has designed a lamp cardboard the name very exhaustive Packaging Lamp. Use the pulp paper industry used to pack your delicate items, the most obvious example?

Millefoglie

The cake is delicious puff pastry, but what about the lamp? Created by the study TNA of property of the smiling Tomoko Azumi who founded it in 2005. Like all good our japanese designers Tomoko is a true lover of paper and a very respectful of nature and as soon as possible uses for the most interesting projects such as the millefoglie lamp from 2007. It is not difficult to imagine how they thought the revealing: many sheets of paper placed one after the other give a nice warm light environment.

What about the Twiggy lamp? Same design studio with the paper lampshade and the steel base, also in this case the card cut in the form of branches and then rolled in on itself creates precisely the effect of light that immerses you in a thick forsta.
