Le Klint makes hand folded curved lamp shades that are prtty neat. They have workshops to teach people how to do it, too.

What's great is that, if you accidentally sit on that lampshade or damaging it while moving houses, it has a second life as an IKEA KRUSNING!

Any info about the workshops? Or instructions on similar techniques?

I bought Folding Techniques for Designers: From Sheet to Form by Paul Jackson on a whim several years ago and found it fun to work through. I think he has a new edition and some other books but I don't have any experience with them.

I bought a few origami books on impulse today, Folding Techniques for Designers was among them so that's a good validation. I've vaguely wanted to make a fancy folded paper lamp for a while and seeing this on HN crystalized that desire into at least buying a handful of books. Thanks for the reference!

There's also this: https://www.normann-copenhagen.com/en/Product/Product-Collec...

Which comes as a kit you put together (keep som clear packing tape handy... it can crack if folded to hard... lol)
