The Urchin Lamp is a prototype of a project worked during my internship at We design studio. It aims to be extremeley low cost being made entirely out of one sheet (50x70 cm) of recycled cardboard. It produces a very warm and cozy effect by letting light out of the cardboard's structure. Thus when it's off it feels like an opaque and monolithic form, but when on it comes to life by adding ambient light to a room. The concept was to create an organic form out of laser cut cardboard profiles glued together. Its elipsoid shape gradualy decreasing in size helps to reduce the material used by fitting one profile to another.
