A set of chairs, a couple of fun book lights and a handbag with pleating elements made up the Octagonal Series, conceived by designers Mi-Seung Kim and Myung-Seo Kang of Studio MS. By studying and exploring origami, the designers discovered numerous possibilities of pleating octagonal shapes which produce flexible and structurally rigid forms.
The Book Light. UV stable pvc / cotton for bookbinding
Inspired by traditional bookbinding, the Book Light consists of a book cover and a pleated cotton shell with a light bulb within. The amount of light can be adjusted by simply opening and closing the ‘book’. There are three different Book Lights: a table lamp, a pendant lamp, and a floor lamp.
