Below are a series of images with descriptions that outline my process towards creating an object for the plush lamp assignment.
First I designed and cut out a series of box templates. These would then be folded into cubes.

But it didn’t work and I decided to take it all apart and start over.
I discovered a new way to create a hinge system and round two worked out better.
