Dutch designer and visual artist Ebere Groenouwe, has recently developed 'Loxolop' - a unique object functioning as a hanging lampshade made of waste paper from the juice packaging industry.
The design arose from the study of origami techniques and renders fasteners such as adhesives or nails and pins unnecessary - paper and imagination is all Ebere uses to create each one by hand.
The Loxolop contains of two simple shapes, which when folded together, form a three-dimensional object. You can use your own lampfitting without dismantling the wiring.
The biomorphic character of the Loxolop find its inspiration in nature, recalling the shapes of wings, flowers, leaves, stems, lobbing plants and insects - but what you see is up to you...
