Although there isn't much information about Andrew Ooi's pendant lamps, I think that the images can pretty much speak for themselves. Exhibited during the 2011 Interior Design Show held in Toronto, Canada, they were constructed out of free-folded paper. Pretty impressive, don't you think?
Andrew Ooi is a Canadian designer and artist who focuses on the art of origami. In particular, he wants to shed new light to this art form. His free-folded paper lighting is one way that he has achieved this goal.
