Papela by Meirav Barzilay

Product designer Meirav Barzilay of Tel Aviv has designed this crumpled papery pendant light that comes scrunched up in a ball.

PAPELA

Papela is a playful paper lamp. Crumple, squash and reshape it as you like.

Papela is delivered as a paper ball, which by a simple set of actions transforms into a unique wrinkled lampshade.

Its minimalist structure is created by thread stitches only, hand sewn out of a colored paper sheet. Papela is available in two different designs.

Materials: Tyvek | Dimensions: 32cm x 45cmØ , 26cm x 45cmØ X-LARGE 55cm x 85cmØ | Year: 2011
