Paper Menagerie

There are so many things to like about Owl Paper Lamps from Portugal. In themselves, these illuminated animals are just terrifically cute in their own right.

When you consider though that each comes flat packed like an origami kit to be assembled, that adds – literally – a whole new dimension to these paper playthings, geometric models to assemble and display, showing off one’s handiwork in the best possible light!

About

OWL paperlamps is a design brand created in 2016 in Lisbon, Portugal. Inspired by the origami art of folding paper figures, we combine modelling with illumination to design original papercraft lamps. Whether your OWL paperlamp is lit or turned off, it will certainly be an eye catcher.We invite you to join the process and build your own model, as all OWL paperlamps consist of a DIY kit for you to assemble our designs. We prepare the challenge, you accomplish it.We hope you enjoy our OWL paperlamps as much as we do. If you have any difficulty, you can always contact us and we’ll try to give you our best support.

Ready? Turn on the light!

Romas Viesulas

I divide my time between home in Portugal – taking road trips to Latin America in search of investment opportunities – and London, where I often present the current affairs programme on Monocle 24 Radio. For Pirouette, I'll take my inspiration from The Swiss Family Robinson. Life with kids is certainly an adventure. It can seem easy to feel shipwrecked however on the high seas of a rapidly changing, ever more globalised world. How can we ensure our children have the tools they need to survive, even thrive?
