Pretty Papers at the Gift Fair

The New York International Gift Fair is a pretty cool place. Twice each year hundreds of exhibitors show their products in one enormous space. I love to go and walk the aisles looking for new trends in colors, pattern or materials. The latest show took place earlier this month and, while there was so much to see, one of the things that I noticed was an unusual use of paper in home accessories. This lamp from Artecnica is a very cool example. It's essentially a pop up book with a small, but functioning, paper lamp powered by a low voltage adapter. I'm not sure how they fold it up into that tiny package, but it would look lovely on my coffee table.
