Sharon Goh - Spectra

Studying the kaleidoscopic effects of lightings on shadows, Spectra is a lamp made from a combination of different geometric translucent and opaque origami folds, designed to be modular and adaptable as a table, wall and decorative lamp. By folding and combining Spectra in different configurations, it creates different lighting and shadow effects.

When hung on a wall, it looks like a flower. When combined, Spectra create the illusion of a durian. Even when folded by itself, it is a decorative light piece for the festive season.

Spectra - A simple origami lighting design, which can evolve into different personas for different occasions.
