Lit, the parchment glows warm and each facet takes a slightly different tone, so the simple geometric form becomes a gentle lantern. Maya is 11″ across and 8.6″ high, weighs just 1 lb, hangs from 180″ of PVC cord and is wired into the ceiling. It takes one E26 bulb up to 40 W and is made for indoor use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Foldability (studio of paper artist Kyla McCallum)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maya\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kyla McCallum, 2009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pendant light for hardwiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-folded parchment paper; steel frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sonobe modular origami: squares of Italian parchment folded and glued together by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ø 11″ × 8.6″ H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket:\u003c\/strong\u003e E26, max 40 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCord:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180″ PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indoor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem number (MPN):\u003c\/strong\u003e FO-MAYA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParchment paper shade, folded by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel frame keeps the geometric form crisp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact Ø 11″ × 8.6″, just 1 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eE26 socket, max 40 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180″ PVC cord, for hardwiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn clusters over a dining table or kitchen island, in a hallway or stairwell, over a bedside, or anywhere you want soft, sculptural light at a small scale.
