Lamps and illuminators are often crafted from metal and other hard materials, but the 'Le Pli' folded paper lamp looks to change this with a design that is made using unexpected materials. The 'Le Pli' lamp is achieved by utilizing three layers of paper, two of which are electrically conductive to achieve the illumination functionality. The lamp features a simple wooden stand that allows the paper to be plugged into it to connect it to power without the need to plug the unit in.
The 'Le Pli' folded paper lamp is completely free of any components that aren't essential to keep it as simple and elegant as possible. The 'Le Pli' is the design work of Sascha dos Santos and Tilmann Studinsky.
