We are developing a current collection of contemporary fold-flat paper lampshades and decorative paper products in India, initially for the Indian market and later for export.

We are looking for an experienced Industrial Designer / Product Designer / Origami Designer / Paper Engineer who can develop real physical products from concept to prototype and manufacturing.

This is not a graphic-design or 3D-rendering-only job.

Project Scope

The main lampshades should ideally:
Ship flat
Open into a secure 3D form
Be attractive and original
Be easy to manufacture repeatedly
Use commercially available paper/materials
Require reasonable assembly/folding time

We prefer a contemporary style combining.

We do not want copies of existing brands or ordinary cheap paper lanterns.

Required Experience

Strong preference for candidates experienced in:
Industrial/product design
Origami or folding structures
Paper engineering
Foldable / collapsible products
Lampshades or home décor
Physical prototyping
Design for manufacturing (DFM)
CAD/vector production files

The designer must be comfortable making and testing physical prototypes, not only computer renders.

Deliverables

For the selected designs we expect:




Initial concepts/sketches
Physical prototype development
Cutting / scoring / folding patterns
Final dimensions
Material recommendations
Flat-pack dimensions
Assembly method
Production-ready vector/CAD files
Manufacturing notes
Editable/source files
