Poject Two: Upcycling

The hanging lamp is basing on the shape of a sea snail, it made by two separate parts. A complex mirrored form and a simple form, in order to creating a nice combination of simple and complex. Besides, the lighting from the inside part, which highlighting the outside curve.  The dark light also provides a feeling of mysterious.

My first inspiration comes from the Asian traditional lantern, then I started to play with the paper, and instead of cutting paper in the same length, I decided to cut in different length.  However, because I still want to keep some traditional sense in the lamp, in order to combine eastern and western cultural. Therefore, I used red as the color in the simple form.

The package of this lamp doesn’t take much space, because the flat package only made by three flat pieces of paper. I used string to hold the paper, and the way to make the shape of lamp is to pull the string tightly.  The steps are easy and no professional skills required.
