Bhangar - news paper lamps


The lamp is made out of shredded news paper woven at the base through a wire frame. The irregular and random arrangements of the shredded paper produces interesting visual effects.


The lamp is made by a simple paper folding method common in origami. Here it is the folds in the paper and the news paper print itself that creates the dramatic light effect.
