london-based anthony dickens studio has designed ‘tekio’, a modular framed paper lighting system that gives the user the flexibility to customize their lamps. meaning ‘adaptable’ in japanese, the light is made from separate units that can be connected and disconnected from each other using the connective ring at the ends of each cylinder. combined with the adjustability of the folded paper tubes, a variety of shapes and formations can be created. since components snap open, this also allows the user to easily replace the bulb.

although the current models are still prototypes, the lamp will be for sale next year.
