Like Paper By Miriam Aust & Sebastian Amelung

Posted on the 10 March 2014 by Cobra76
This beautiful lamp seems to be made of folded paper, but is in fact made out of slewed concrete. It's a startling piece that is tougher than it first appears. Although the manufacturing follows certain paper patterns, the completed shades develop individuality through their own edges, kinks and creases. Each unique Hangover lamp is made by hand in Germany.
