Interlocking Paper Lamps

These Bamboo Paper Origami Lamps are Built Without Any Screws or Glue

— October 28, 2015 — Eco
Not only is this origami lamp made from environmentally friendly materials like paper and wood -- but that is all it is made of. No screws or even glue was used in the crafting of this beautiful lamp. Borrowing techniques from the ancient Japanese art of origami, the folded lamp is made of interlocking pieces that keep it in place.

With wooden rods shaped in a teepee-like structure, they all meet in the center at the top of the lamp, leaning on each other in a perfectly balanced harmony. The wooden rods are covered with a thin layer of natural plant-based oil wax to protect them. The bamboo paper origami lamp surrounds these rods in the shape of a house, with nine folded slits that allow it to have a geometric structure.
Trend Themes
1. Environmentally Friendly Materials - The use of bamboo paper and wood instead of traditional materials presents an opportunity for businesses to create sustainable and eco-friendly products.
2. Origami-inspired Design - Incorporating origami techniques into product design allows for the creation of intricate and visually appealing structures without the need for screws or glue.
3. Interlocking Construction - The interlocking pieces in the lamp's design offer a potential disruptive innovation opportunity to explore new methods of building and assembly.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture and Interior Design - The interlocking paper lamp could revolutionize the furniture and interior design industry by introducing a new method of constructing and assembling products.
2. Sustainable Lighting - The use of environmentally friendly materials in the origami lamp presents an opportunity for the sustainable lighting industry to create innovative and eco-conscious lighting solutions.
3. Art and Craft Supplies - The origami lamp's unique design could create a demand for art and craft supplies specifically tailored for DIY origami-inspired projects.
