Curve Lamp: a cardboard sheet lamp

The project

Curve Lamp turns a series of cardboard sheets into an open, curved form. Designed by Angela Shepherd, the lamp combines a sculptural presence with a construction that leaves its components and connections visible.

The construction uses laser-cut cardboard sheets designed to slot together. Repeated profiles define the body of the lamp, with each piece contributing both to its construction and to its outline.

The white appearance of the surfaces and the gaps between the sheets give the volume definition without fully enclosing it. The central opening and circular internal elements reveal the relationship between the outer form and the interlocking connections.

The development includes slotted components and assembly stages, as well as the complete object. The lamp is also presented illuminated and suspended, bringing light together with the rhythm of the curved sheets.
