Origami venue at new JAL hotel

Planners looking for something beyond the standard meeting offering will soon be able to book an origami-shaped conference room at Hotel JAL Tower Dubai, which is due to open before the end of the year. Located on the ground floor, the structure makes a bold visual and corporate statement and ties in with the property’s strong Japanese theme.

The geometrical sharp edges are simply stunning with the immense size and scale, makes one walk around the sculpture and be around it. 

Recyclable LZF Alhambra Lamp Inspired by Origami by Sarah Parsons and Yuri Teodorowych

The latest lighting design from LZF Lampspaper swans to shame. The Spanish design firm used origami figures to inspire its giant, geometric pendant lamps, which debuted at this week’s Milan Furniture Fair. Not only are the lights arrestingly beautiful, they’re crafted from eco-friendly materials. Consumers can recycle the spiky, polypropylene domes once they are finished using them.

Because they’re so masterfully designed, Bloxes create structures strong enough to stand on, all assembled without tools. So they’re not just for room separating anymore- build a bench, a table, a wall, or even a full room!
