Origami or papier-mâché?

Our pendant lights explore a fascinating duality: the mathematical precision of origami meeting the fluid, organic nature of papier-mâché. In our origami pieces, a simple rectangular sheet transforms into an intricate three-dimensional form through careful folding. These geometric patterns do more than please the eye—they interact with light in mesmerizing ways, casting calculated shadows and creating dramatic visual effects when illuminated.

We take equal joy in our papier-mâché creations, where we honor sustainability by crafting our own pulp from our household's paper waste. These pieces embody the Japanese wabi-sabi philosophy, celebrating natural imperfection alongside bold, contemporary design. The result is a collection of color-blocked lampshades that blur the line between functional lighting and sculptural art.

Each piece, whether precisely folded or organically shaped, transforms your space through its interplay with light. Our origami shades offer clean lines and striking geometric silhouettes, while our papier-mâché works feature subtle textures and gentle irregularities that create depth and warmth. Every lampshade is handcrafted, ensuring each one carries its own unique character while casting a warm, inviting glow.
