Concerning the Sonobe modules, some people use them for lamps, e.g. http://www.sonobelight.dk/m/side.asp?Id=246128. As the modules have many layers, you should employ quite transparent paper. Many modulars lend themselves to quite open polyhedral styles and may also be considered for lamps. Also consider stepping away from modulars, over to their one sheet neighbors of corrugations and tessellations. Look into e.g. Paul Jacksons Complete Pleats: Pleating Techniques for Fashion, Architecture and Design, and of course the now classic Origami Tessellations by Eric Gjerde. Both provide terrific, sculptural patterns that, once mastered, led themselves to plenty variations and experimentation, be it for their own sake or as inspiration for decorative surfaces of other constructs. They also lend themselves to other materials, such as fabric or metal, if the Arts people are into that. Take e.g a look at http://www.garibiorigami.com/. Pleated and cross pleated fabric and lamps are examples of corrugations. Good luck, Hans Hans Dybkjær Site: papirfoldning.dk Society: foldning.dk
