This, in true Ikea style, is a flat-pack light shade.
What intrigued me most as I put it together was the creative process of the person who designed it. Someone must have spent hours 'playing' with layers of paper with wire reinforced edges, folding, cutting, scrunching, and then considering the practicalities - how do you keep the bulb away from the paper, how do you get the paper attached to the fitting, and then of course the big question - how do you describe, without words, the way to put it together!! (I wonder if the same person does that or if it is passed on to another creative mind....)
I felt I was in that person's mind exploring potentials thinking hair scrunchies, meringues, wedding dresses, flower bouquet wired ribbons, 'free' or 'wild' origami, origami with a twist. The designer must be a very observant and imaginative person - always looking at how things work and at how things can be done differently and how practical problems can be solved.
Fascinating.
