This instructable will provide you with the templates to construct one (or rather 2 of different size), wholly of original construction, drawn by me and absolutely free. Aesthetically at least, it look pretty enough (^_^)

Click the Google search link above to see the original lamp design by Simon Karkov, smallest of which cost in excess of £44. In an interview, he claim to have spent 3 years perfecting his lamp, well... It did take me 1 paper model, 2 plastic models and maybe 3 weeks to get to the final 30cm wide version... 

In following Scandinavian kitsch naming convention, I am calling mine the Pippi L11, henceforth it be known.

Good job. Can we get some side-view shots of the lamp too? The top down ones don't show the full shape. Thanks!
