OWL Paperlamps, a Portuguese lighting brand that was founded in Lisbon just this year, is comprised of owners Hugo and Teresa's efforts.
Drawing from the ancient art of origami, OWL Paperlamps recreates wildlife in an abstract form -- using a combination of intricate folds to build their shape. By doing this, the team is able to create penguins, owls, turtles, parrots and more -- making for a unique source of lighting that's available in a variety of different shapes and sizes to better suit the homes of consumers.
All of OWL Paperlamps' products can be purchased through its online store, where a selection of DIY kits can be chosen from. In order to make picking one out more simple, OWL Paperlamps includes a difficulty rating so that consumers know what they're getting into before they order.
