# Free-Folded Paper Lamps Andrew Ooi Debuts Lighting During 2011 Interior Design Show By Meghan Young | Published 2011-01-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andrew-ooi References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2011/01/28/freefolded-paper-pendant-lamps-by-andrew-ooi/) & [andrewpjooi](http://www.andrewpjooi.com/) Although there isn't much information about Andrew Ooi's pendant lamps, I think that the images can pretty much speak for themselves. Exhibited during the 2011 Interior Design Show held in Toronto, Canada, they were constructed out of free-folded paper. Pretty impressive, don't you think? Andrew Ooi is a Canadian designer and artist who focuses on the art of origami. In particular, he wants to shed new light to this art form. His free-folded paper lighting is one way that he has achieved this goal. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Paper Artisans:** A rising trend of artisans using paper to create intricate designs and products, including lighting fixtures. - **Sustainable Lighting:** A trend towards eco-friendly lighting designs that utilize recycled materials or energy-efficient solutions. - **Interactive Lighting:** A trend towards lighting fixtures that can be controlled and customized through technology, such as smartphone apps or motion sensors. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** Innovative paper lighting designs can disrupt the home decor industry by providing eco-friendly and customizable lighting options. - **Art and Design:** A growing trend in paper-based artwork and design can disrupt traditional forms of art and offer unique and accessible works for consumers. - **Sustainable Living:** The trend towards sustainable and eco-friendly products can disrupt various industries, including lighting, home goods, and fashion. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Origami-Inspired Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ori-lamp.md) - [Paper-Inspired Half-Folded Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/half-lamp.md) - [Origami-Inspired Suspended Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sora-pendant-light.md) - [Paper-Made Origami Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanging-origami-lamp.md) - [Flat-Pack Paper Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tsubomi.md) - [Blooming Paper Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kazuhiro-yamanaka-tsubomi-lamp.md) - [Posh Paper Craft-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japandi-lamp.md) - [Organic Paper-Like Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farolito.md) - [Folded Timber Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flatpack-timber-lamp.md)
