What's great is that, if you accidentally sit on that lampshade or damaging it while moving houses, it has a second life as an IKEA KRUSNING! https://www.ikea.com/ma/en/p/krusning-pendant-lamp-shade-white-50259921/ https://www.ikea.com/ma/en/p/krusning-pendant-lamp-shade-whi...

  There's also this: https://www.normann-copenhagen.com/en/Product/Product-Collections/Norm69-Lamp https://www.normann-copenhagen.com/en/Product/Product-Collec... Which comes as a kit you put together (keep som clear packing tape handy... it can crack if folded to hard... lol)

  You might be interested in Madonna Yoder's tessellation instructions: https://training.gatheringfolds.com/garden https://training.gatheringfolds.com/garden I bought Folding Techniques for Designers: From Sheet to Form by Paul Jackson on a whim several years ago and found it fun to work through. I think he has a new edition and some other books but I don't have any experience with them.

    I bought a few origami books on impulse today, Folding Techniques for Designers was among them so that's a good validation. I've vaguely wanted to make a fancy folded paper lamp for a while and seeing this on HN crystalized that desire into at least buying a handful of books. Thanks for the reference!
