This lamp was designed using a single sheet of metal!

The Object 3 Lamp’s appeal lies in its absolute simplicity. Echoing the aesthetic of your regular table lamp, the Object 3 by Gabriel Vizcarrondo is a lamp that’s entirely made from one sheet of metal. The lamp ships entirely flat-packed and can easily be folded/assembled on-site, turning a 2D object into a 3D one! The lamp’s one-piece design comes stamped out of a sheet of metal, with dashed edges that act as folding lines. Assembling the lamp is a rather simple affair, as is routing the socket through the lamp’s cable-organizer and socket-hole. Once you’re done, just screw an LED bulb in, and your lamp’s ready!

The lamp stands on its own, and comes with a pouting-flower-inspired 6-part shade. The sheet metal comes powder-coated in white for a classic appeal, although I don’t see why the Object 3 couldn’t be available in multiple color options. I’d still recommend you stick to using an LED bulb though, given that an incandescent bulb could probably cause the metal lamp to heat up!
