That said, we don\u2019t always use these flat horizontal surfaces all the time, and there will be times when they\u2019re just taking up precious space. Yes, more aesthetic tables do provide some visual value, but it doesn\u2019t outweigh the cost of their presence. Foldable tables are practical, but few actually look good even when unfolded and the hassle of moving the folded table out of the way makes them less compelling. But what if you didn\u2019t need to put the table away because it not only becomes more compact but also serves a different purpose? That\u2019s the kind of multi-functional design that this concept proposes, turning a table into a lamp.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: Sonakshi Gupta<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/lightup-origami-wooden-table-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-485109\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/04\/16\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Origami-inspired table concept folds into a lamp to save space\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/lightup-origami-wooden-table-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/lightup-origami-wooden-table-2.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-485109\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/04\/16\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Origami-inspired table concept folds into a lamp to save space\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/lightup-origami-wooden-table-2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"6d80eb8d28cfe128599fa0ea-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"6d80eb8d28cfe128599fa0ea-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Japanese art of folding paper has inspired many designs because of its beauty, simplicity, and space efficiency. A large and flat sheet of paper can suddenly become a geometric flower or swan with a few folds, significantly reducing the area that the piece of paper once occupied. This art doesn\u2019t involve removing or adding parts, which makes each piece an independent and standalone unit.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/lightup-origami-wooden-table-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-485110\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/04\/16\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Origami-inspired table concept folds into a lamp to save space\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/lightup-origami-wooden-table-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/lightup-origami-wooden-table-6.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-485110\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/04\/16\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Origami-inspired table concept folds into a lamp to save space\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/lightup-origami-wooden-table-6.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/lightup-origami-wooden-table-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1271\" height=\"850\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-485111\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/04\/16\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Origami-inspired table concept folds into a lamp to save space\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/lightup-origami-wooden-table-7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/lightup-origami-wooden-table-7.jpg\" alt width=\"1271\" height=\"850\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-485111\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/04\/16\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Origami-inspired table concept folds into a lamp to save space\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/lightup-origami-wooden-table-7.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"1017606968\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"6d80eb8d28cfe128599fa0ea-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"6d80eb8d28cfe128599fa0ea-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>LightUP is a concept that takes inspiration from origami and kirigami (which does involve cutting away and gluing pieces together) to design a table that not only saves space but also provides a completely different functionality or two. The squarish wooden tabletop folds up into a shape that\u2019s like a flower bud, freeing up the space around the table for use. Thanks to ingenious invisible hinges, not only do you have a clean and flat table surface but moving only one or two corners is enough to fold and unfold the table. The easier you can perform this action, the more frequently you\u2019re willing to do it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/lightup-origami-wooden-table-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-485113\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/04\/16\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Origami-inspired table concept folds into a lamp to save space\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/lightup-origami-wooden-table-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/lightup-origami-wooden-table-5.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-485113\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/04\/16\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Origami-inspired table concept folds into a lamp to save space\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/origami-inspired-table-concept-folds-into-a-lamp-to-save-space\/lightup-origami-wooden-table-5.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-8\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad layout=\"fluid\" height=\"fluid\" type=\"doubleclick\" data-slot=\"\/3847355\/yd-select-amp\"><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<p>Of course, that\u2019s not where it all ends.
