These DIY Lamp Kits Make Amazing Geometric Animals

OWL is a paper lamp brand from Lisbon, Portugal, founded by two architects, Hugo Formiga and Teresa Almeida, in 2016. They offer a variety of wild animals that easily turn into gorgeous lamps using folding techniques. And yes, they have a few owls in their catalog, among other animals.

Formiga and Almeida explain that their “most recent designs have focused on large, endangered mammals. The selection tends to raise awareness about wildlife and simultaneously recreates the animals in a playful and abstract manner. The designs seem to trigger stories about themselves and are conceived as fun lighting objects with a hint of personality.”

See some of them below.
