Lagrange‘s lampshade is made of repeated strips of Tyvek, a synthetic paper-like material.

The lamp’s structure is entirely made by folding sections of the material. These are fastened together with two colourful rings – a small one at the top and a larger one around the base.

Made from repeated lightweight pieces, the lamp can be shipped flat and assembled by anyone.

Jean-Sébastien Lagrange has also designed a poster that doubles as a lamp.

Other Tyvek products that have featured on Dezeen include a concertinaed structure for an exhibition about performance art and  vases made from a thin curl of the material.

This vase by Rhode Island School of Design graduate Jiwon Choi is made from a thin curl of synthetic paper.

The vase is made of Tyvek, a lightweight and tear-resistant material produced from plastic fibres.

Jiwon Choi intended to create a package for a bunch of flowers that would be simple and light but strong enough to stand upright.

She is currently looking for a manufacturer to produce the vase.

We’ve featured a few other Tyvek objects, including a crumpled pendant lamp and a clock that creates changing 3D shapes as the minutes tick by – see all products made from Tyvek.

Other vases we’ve published lately include vessels that loop over the flowers to frame them and jewel-like vases assembled from flat sheets of cardboard – see all vases on Dezeen.

Here’s a tiny bit of text from the designer:


PAPELA

Papela is a playful paper lamp. Crumple, squash and reshape it as you like.

Papela by Meirav Barzilay

Papela is delivered as a paper ball, which by a simple set of actions transforms into a unique wrinkled lampshade.

Papela by Meirav Barzilay

Its minimalist structure is created by thread stitches only, hand sewn out of a colored paper sheet. Papela is available in two different designs.
