It all began with folding paper cranes at her elementary school in China. Dutch designer Tian Zhen now applies the origami to many of her designs. Check out her origamic Lotus table base and the Swan lamps.
Thanks to Tian Zhen for the images.
Swan Lamps
Inspired by fairytale swans, the Swan lamps are made from sheets of folded Tyvek paper with no hidden support. Swan comes as a floor lamp and a pendant lamp.

Lotus Origami Side Table
Paper origami is structurally and flexible, and with that in mind, Tian Zhen creates the LOTUS. The side table can be switched from one form to another in few seconds. In total, it has six different appearances.
