A4 and A3 Lamps

Lamps A4 and A3  were first designed and tested manually using traditional cutting and folding techniques. After that, 3d paper prototypes were digitalized into 2d drawings and finally laser cut.

Main materials are: paper, polypropylene, plexiglass and plastic clips.
              
Prior to assembly, these lamps are simply a thin, flat sheet of material. The idea is that these light and thin sheets can be posted in a very cheap and eco-friendly manner in typical A4 and A3 size envelopes, and then quickly and easily folded and assembled by the customer, who then becomes part of the making process.

During the ordering process the client can customize his own lamp design by choosing different types of materials, clip colors, lamp fittings and cables.

"Una paloma blanca"

Barcelona 09.12.2010
                                      Fab Lab Barcelona & King Kong Desig

After quite some post showing a bit of the process of my last design,finally there is time for some "real" objects. Sorry for not typing anything before, but with so many ideas crossing my mind so fast, and with such an intensity, i thought images will explain it all better.

I can only add, that the whole idea of what i'm working on recently,is about drawing, cutting, folding and connecting all pieces not only by myself, but also by enyone interested in trying making something too.

Real website with real products coming soon!!!

Waiting for comments, and thanks for chasing!
