We’re always on the lookout for handcrafted projects that we would like to try making. We love this cube garland lamp from Japanese online store, Chou Chou. We’ve seen these lamps made from origami papers but we prefer using fabric for the cubes. Chou Chou makes theirs from Liberty and vintage fabric.

We love this TIPI lamp created by Valencia-based product designer, Javier Herrero, for Spanish online shop, Buokids. The table lamps are made from natural materials, beech wood and wool felt. The soft ecru felt is embroidered with simplified and updated graphics inspired by Native American motifs giving the lamp a handcrafted quality.

French artist Sophie Mouton-Perrat and chemist Frederic Guibrunet combined their passion for paper and created these unique paper luminaires sold under the brand, Papier á Êtres. Using only white paper the lamps are created with wire, paper folding and paper mache. The potraits on their website read as follows:
“He structured the paper, she poetized it.
She exposed in Paris, he exposed in Toronto,
they met to Brouage.
And there was born the union of two beings of paper.
Their works are long-lasting, realized with attention
and respect for the pleasure of their buyers.â€
