Polar White Origami Lamp by Orikomi

About This Piece

Contemporary Design

This Orikomi origami lamp in polar white arrives with a simple white 1m long cable. The Orikomi lampshades were inspired by clean lines and geometric shapes, and are carefully handcrafted using high-quality paper in a wide variety of colors. The lamp should only be used with LED or energy-saving light bulbs; this is also an eco-friendly choice with the advantage of reducing the energy bill. Orikomi is shipped mounted in a cardboard box and arrives with instructions and an ethical statement. Use a feather dust or a soft cloth to remove any dust particles that may build up.

About the Creator

Orikomi

Founded in 2013 by Ana Morgado and Carmo Caldeira in Lisbon, Portugal, Orikomi is an eco-friendly brand that combines sustainable, recyclable design with contemporary lighting. Morgado and Caldeira met while studying together in the Architecture Faculty at the Universidade de Lisboa. The pair has been collaborating together as architects since 2008, when they established their own studio, blaanc, alongside architects Lara Camilla Pinho and Maria da Paz Sequeira Braga. In 2011, blaanc co-founded the non-profit association Adobe for Women, which aimed to build housing for women in need. The project focused on 20 women in Mexico, providing them with sustainable construction techniques that can be used in their daily routine as well as a viable source of income. As a way to fund this project, Morgado and Caldeira established Orikomi.

Fascinated by the architectural accuracy that origami affords, the pair started experimenting with paper, transforming 2D objects into stunning 3D, architectural sculptures. Each Orikomi pendant lamp is a hand-folded construction using high quality, 160 gsm paper and fabric-covered cable. Available in a wide range of colors and sizes, the lamps are made from recycled paper and use energy efficient light bulbs. Orikomi has also collaborated with other designers and partners to produce special collections, such as the geometric Native Collection, with Portuguese designer and ceramicist Sofia Sustelo of Homes in Colour, or the expressive Wildflower Collection created in collaboration with textile brand Barbara Osorio Fabrics.

In 2016, the association was able to build 20 houses using the profits from Orikomi sales. Both Morgado and Caldeira hope that Orikomi can help raise money for other non-profit humanitarian projects in the future. Today, Orikomi is sold worldwide through retail shops throughout Europe, as well as in Australia and the US.
