THE LANTERNSUMMER 2022
The Lantern, proposed for the City Relief pop-up shelter, welcomes guests in a comforting space. The design caters to the flexibility and mobility required and to providing a reposing experience to guests and the public. Paper lanterns carry meanings of hope and guidance across borders. The Lantern serves as a beacon of light bringing people together.







Inspired by the structure of paper lanterns and origami techniques, the outer shell is a modular foldable tunnel. The services provided are separated into each module with the ability to expand, curve and contract; the configuration possibilities are endless.

The furniture is designed to serve the various services provided in the shelter. Lightweight and foldable, the entire shelter fits into a 20ft long container to be disassembled and moved with ease.
