MAIN PURPOSE: Amplify a paper-strip music box movement

A resonant case for a hand-crank paper-strip music box movement. Screw the movement to the floor, the crank comes out of the side, the punched song strip feeds in at the front and out at the back, and the thin walls and sound port make the little comb far louder and warmer than in your hand.

Rotunda

MAIN PURPOSE: Show and rotate a collection of postcards

A spinning postcard rotunda for the mantelpiece. Twelve radial walls hold cards upright like a ring of columns; spin the lazy-Susan base to bring a different card to the front, so a whole collection of postcards, prints or holiday cards is on show in the space of a side plate.

Resonance Ring

MAIN PURPOSE: Let a singing bowl ring freely on a point rest

A rest for a meditation singing bowl. The bowl sits only on the inner points of the scalloped ring, so almost none of its body touches anything and it rings far longer than on a cushion, while the grip feet keep the ring still when you strike it.

Portico Clock

MAIN PURPOSE: Tell the time on a mantel or shelf

A mantel clock in the shape of a round-headed portico. Fit a standard quartz movement behind the face through the 8 mm hole, four small pierced dots mark the quarters, and the hollow back hides the movement and its battery; it stands on its own stepped plinth.

Proscenium Box

MAIN PURPOSE: Stage figures in front of a swappable backdrop

A miniature stage for figures and dioramas. The front wall is the proscenium arch, a low rail at the back holds a printed or painted card backdrop you can swap with the seasons, and the floor is the stage, so one shelf ornament becomes a scene you restage whenever you like.

Ziggurat Deck

MAIN PURPOSE: Draw and display a card of the day

A daily card stand for tarot, affirmation or prompt decks. The deck lies in the low front well with a thumb notch, and the card you draw stands in the tall slot behind, so the card of the day is on show and the rest of the deck stays squared and dust-free.

Wick Ridge

MAIN PURPOSE: Humidify a dry room with no power

A passive humidifier that looks like a paper mountain range. Fill the tray with water and drape folded sheets of blotting paper over the seven fins: both ends dip in, the paper wicks water up and the air takes it away, so a dry room by a radiator gets moisture with no power, noise or filter.

Andon Cube

MAIN PURPOSE: Diffuse an LED puck through a paper-lined lattice

A paper lantern for a battery LED puck, after the Japanese andon. Line the inside with washi or baking paper, stand a puck on the floor and the grid of square windows on every side glows like a shoji screen; there is no flame, so it is safe on a bedside or in a child room.

Eclipse Halo

MAIN PURPOSE: Throw a ring of light onto the wall behind

A halo lamp that lights the wall, not the room. Stick a battery LED puck inside the hollow back of the disc, stand it a hand width from a wall and the disc goes dark while a ring of light blooms around it, like a solar eclipse; the splayed foot keeps it upright.

Pleatlight

MAIN PURPOSE: Glow an LED puck through thin pleated walls

A shade whose walls are a single line thick. Print the pleated gear outline in translucent white PLA with a 1 mm wall, stand it over a battery LED puck and the whole surface glows, brighter on every fold; it turns the thin-wall limit of a printer into the look of a pleated paper shade.
