Controlling a living hinge using pulleys will allow for the design itself to be interactive and easy to adjust. The idea for this could be based on the vintage French pull lights that are now typically found at flea markets. I have found a few on pinterest, and a few modern equivalents: https://www.pinterest.com/aliceelliott92/pulleys/
These designs need a pulley system and a weight to be effective, I plan to cast these in a metal such as pewter to add a hand made element to the design.
