Modular Lamp Shaped Box

This Japanese lamp shaped-bowl, is one of my favourite creations of Tomoko Fuse from her book, 'Fabulous Origami Boxes'. The bowl can also be made into a series of nesting bowls by folding nearer or further from the centre. The lid can be made with or without knob at the top.

I felt the bowl and lid looked best when using patterned paper instead of a single coloured paper. And the bowl I have made here was done using gift wrapper paper.

Effort required would be about an hour or so for a beginner, since the bowl is made up of 8 modules in total, 4 for the bowl and 4 for the lid.
