I find them interesting, too.
Thank you for posting photographs. Can you tell us what type paper you have used and wether it has been treated or coated in any way? What type of lamp are you using for your light source?

Do you mean a common
incandescent tungsten filament lamp? If so, is combustibility a concern?
In the US, it would be difficult to market such a fixture due to fire safety codes.
As for your designs, I like the somewhat amorphous organic forms. I'm sure that when they are illuminated with warm-colored low wattage lamps, they provide a comforting glow.

Very interesting.
I am about to embark on a dining-table light for a client, who showed me photos of Frank Gehry's "Cloud" light (which I had never seen, and are made of unknown material and look a bit like lazy cat's first piece).
Paper is a perfectly respectable material for electric lighting, in my experience. Ordinary kraft paper takes on a nice amber color in front of low-wattage incandescent bulbs. The paper lantern prototype below stayed on 24 hrs a day for years, in my room -- the lamp is a 15-watt refrigerator bulb, quite near the top of the lantern (which was made from an ordinary paper bag). After many years the top dried out and began to disintegrate; the second photo shows the lantern with a newly-made top portion.

SDR, there's a Nomex product
available that resembles a thin oaktag card stock that seems like it would be suitable for the purpose and provide a similar effect to craft paper. We used to line fine art shipping crates with it per client specs. I never did find what I consider a satisfactory adhesive for it, though. We used a 3M high-performance double-stick acrylic, but I'm not sure that would stand up to higher temps.
Gehry's Cloud lamps seem to be made from a non-woven polyester material. Hollytex springs to mind.
Your lamp is quite architectural, as is to be expected. What's the base made from?

For me
the art of paper lantern making is an Eastern tradition that was artfully explored by Noguchi
It is therefore no longer a concept or a new idea, but a craft or the development of a tradition.
Personally, I find your lamps a little artless and lacking in finesse.
That might just be the quality of the photographs of course.
Sorry to sound negative- just my opinion

I quite like them, like they ...
I quite like them, like they could be spiders eggs sacks or some sort of alien glowing cocoon, are you just laying the paper over a ballon (beach ball?) and then deflating it afterwards?
Perhaps they might suit a club or restaraunt, slowly dimming and brightening?
