I really love the math and the design of this!

I'm not entirely sure I would want a lampshade that blocks most of the light from the bulb, but I'm sure there are applications that make sense, right?

It doesn’t block - it reflects, using white surfaces

[pwinnski]

Good point! So some light escapes through the gaps between the circles, but most of it is directed downward.

I guess that would be good for an overhead lamp.

I think it would work well e.g. over a kitchen table.

I would guess it’s possible to do a similar design with translucent plastic.
