A unique and cost-effective addition to the desk, the corrugated cardboard desk lamp designed by Instructables user Jesse Harrington Au features a striking design created from unexpected materials. Designed using complex graphic imaging software, the lamp is laser-etched into cardboard and then easily assembled via numbering. To finish, a relatively inexpensive strip of LED lights are added for soft light that is low energy and high impact. The contemporary silhouette of the lamp also features a compartment for storing your cell phone or anything else.
Don’t have a laser-etching machine on hand? That’s ok because the design can be easily printed and traced onto cardboard to get the same look and the LED base can be purchased at a local hardware store. The design is available online via the Instrutables site where other modern takes on household materials can be found and submitted.
