Single sheets of white paper are pinched into geometric patterns to create the textured shades.

These lamps are credited to designers Ofir Zucker and Albi Serfaty, but another designer from Aqua Creations is Ayala Serfaty, whose upholstered furniture resembling lichen-covered stone we featured earlier this month.
Here's a little more text from Aqua Creations:
Molecules Collection
Designed by Ofir Zucker & Albi Serfaty, in collaboration with origami artist Ilan Garibi
It all begins with a blank sheet of paper, folded and sculpted by hand into a tessellation of molecules, based on the traditional Japanese art of Origami.

A complement and contrast at the same time are the mahogany wood structures that derive their shape from digital CNC carving.

The modular design of the wooden pieces allows them to be assembled into the different lamps of the collection.

Paper and wood are merged together, fixing the shade into its shape and place.
