Fastener Lamps

2023




Prototypes for paper lamps assembled using inexpensive brass fasteners. 

This series was developed while exploring whether I could create a structured lighting object using only these accessible materials. Through this process I developed a method for creating multiple forms using symmetrical paper patterns with folding tabs. A custom 3D-printed PLA component holds the standard corded light socket in place.
