5 Light Fixtures With Origami Appeal

By Clarissa Allison | September 23rd, 2016

Many of us are drawn to the studied elegance of modern and contemporary home design. Lighting is a major element that adds both functionality and beauty to a space. From George Nelson Bubble Lamps that embody mid-century modern chic to the innovative creations of designer Issey Miyake, there are many lighting fixtures whose structure is reminiscent of the art of paper folding known as Origami. Below, we’ve highlighted 5 of the best origami style lighting fixtures available on louielighting.com.

Made in Venice, Italy by Venetia Studium, The Concubina Proibita (or prohibited concubine) has a glamorous shape that evokes the allure of the East. Triangular and square panels come together, adorned with crimson threads and ornate beads. The simple wood structure protects the silk and enhances its silvery patterns. Hang this lamp individually or in a composition to achieve soft lighting that adds refinement to any décor.

This beautiful table lamp by Lite Source’s Sedlar Collection features a crisp white shade and a polished silver finish. The lamp is perfect transitional fixture for ambient lighting in your living room and bedroom as well as an accent to modern furniture.

Designed by Issey Miyake, each lampshade of the Tatsumo Otoshigo Suspension light by Artemide is created using 2 or 3D mathematic principals, where light and shade harmoniously alternate. Miyake’s unique folding technology creates both statuesque forms as well as sufficient solidity. The structure of the recycled material, together with an additional surface treatment allows these shades to perfectly keep their shape without the need for internal frame, and to be re-shaped when needed. They can be easily stored flat when not in use.

The George Nelson Propeller Bubble Pendant Lamp by Herman Miller contains a taut acrylic resin of translucent spun plastic covering a steel wire molded into the desired shape. The original design and shape of the George Nelson Propeller Bubble Pendant was created by George Nelson at the end of the Second World War. The George Nelson Propeller Bubble Pendant is a result of Herman Miller’s efforts to bring these timeless classics to present-day discerning consumers.

This unique pendant emits subtle lighting using an A19 bulb of up to 150 watts and uses universal voltage, which makes it equally suitable for any geographical location around the world. As standard accessories, the George Nelson Propeller Bubble Pendant comes equipped with a six feet long connecting cord and a 5.25 inch thick steel ceiling plate in brushed nickel finish.

The unexpected sophistication of folded paper is used to great dramatic effect with the Tech Lighting Flight Paper Accessory. A loosely folded cone of white heat-resistant paper, the Flight Paper Accessory provides soft diffusing of a track head’s light as well as a casually contemporary design element. For use with MR16 lamp up to 50 watts or MR11 lamp up to 35 watts. Contact us for information on completing your new cable system using Flight Paper.
