The Jesse Harrington Au Light is Made of a Single Sheet of Paper

— November 2, 2012 — Art & Design
Jesse Harrington Au's LED-lit lamp is made of a single sheet of cardboard. The guided step-by-step cut-out process allows one to recreate the light with a laser printer. A downloadable CAD file provides the basic instructions, all that is required is the printing.

This at-home illumination project changes the pace of decor.
Instead of shopping, followers of Harrington Au can replicate his exact layout with relative ease. The hardest part is locating a laser cut printer.

After placing the brown bits of paper together, Harrington Au strung a LED ribbon through the piece. A basic plug was then fastened to the end. The final product is well worth the assembly process as it can placed in a variety of indoor settings.
