‘folded origami table lamp’ by mirco kirsch for belt + sund

conceived from a single sheet of metal by mirco kirsch, ‘the belt + sund table lamp’ is folded into shape by hand, with indentations indicating the pattern design. being pre-assembled, the electrical components and light fixtures are already installed – taking only five minutes to build. aside from the folding pattern, the surface coating is of utmost importance – the tight bends of up to 180 degrees require a very withstanding finish that does not break during the folding process.
