3D papercraft snail night light
Placed on a bedside table or a shelf, this geometric snail seems to move in slow motion, as if inviting the room to breathe. Its spiral shell, built from crisp faceted shapes, diffuses a soft, enveloping light. When switched on, the night light feels reassuring. When off, it becomes a graphic sculpture that draws the eye without ever feeling overpowering.
Designed as a 3D papercraft project — or 3D origami for enthusiasts — this model is assembled patiently, piece by piece. A calm, almost meditative moment. And after a few hours, the satisfaction of seeing a unique decorative object take shape, crafted entirely by your own hands.

Paper, light and finish
The model is designed to be printed on white paper of at least 160 g/m², ideally between 200 and 250 g/m² for better rigidity. A single color is all you need: the visual impact comes from the volumes and sharp edges. Inside, you can place a low-heat LED to create a warm glow, perfect for a child’s bedroom or a reading nook.
Assembly and use
The templates are numbered, with clear folding guides. Assembly remains accessible as long as you work carefully and patiently. A discreet opening under the base makes it easy to install the light source. Once finished, the night light naturally finds its place among papercraft interior decoration, adding a poetic and contemporary touch to your home.
