Well ... that lamp is "solid" (meaning that the "pieces" have thickness as in real life).

In order to do that you should create "holes" (easiest way: using scaled voronoi closed Breps, lot's of more "accurate" ways exist, mind) in a  thickened Brep (side).

This operation takes time since Rhino is very slow in anything related with "solid" ops.

For 3D print, Mesh is another option.

You'll need "Meshedit" and "Weaverbird".
