Comparision of origami lampshades

Jan 27, 2016 11:58

In the continuation of the discussion about origami lamps, their prices and copyrights I post a tiny table explaining why I'm okay with Le Klint pricing and not okay with someone selling sonobes for ridiculous prices.
The discussion started here
https://www.facebook.com/ekaterina.lukasheva.98/posts/1019117928146690?pnref=story
and proceeded with Peter Keller's accepted challenge on making Le Klint replica out of scratch

I'm posting the table here, because flickr won't accept table format (unfortunately)
