Paper Lighting by Paula Arntzen

I came across Dutch artist Paula Arntzen via a press release for the new book, Paper Works, where her work is featured. She experimented with paper to create a Paper Process series of bulbous, yet stylish handmade lamps that are composed of many layers of high quality paper, and some with copper foil strips.

Paula's design studio is in Arnhem, Netherlands. She originally studied traditional furniture making and then product design, leading to objects that are both functional and decorative.

And another found item... here's something good that was posted on the ATP Facebook page this past week:
