Because paper’s very first fold quickly commits to memory, you can sense the experience, confidence, and patience one has with each and every fold – and these traits inspire me deeply.

Macdonald's Family Box X Folding Structures

Folding Structures are not only from minimalistic artistic forms but, here's one that I found it's simple form is interesting. Its a box from Macdonald's promotion family pack!

White ?

Minimalist, sharp structures and clean cuts, Origami offers numerous solutions and ideas in design, fashion, home, and technology. I do not want to think Origami structures as only from small papers and creating an object. But I wish to see and stretch to be able to think of innovative origami concepts and products from manufacturers, artists and engineers around the world.

Something for me to ponder:

a) Why is most oragimi-cal structures white?

b) Is it because its by the Japanese?

NO. 973, origami chair X James Dieter

I know this is 8 years ago, but i still find this pretty cool. Somehow one of my inspirations for doing furns for last semester.

In 2003, designboom and 100% design organized an international design competition: 100% folding chairs. There were more than 1300 participants, from 84 countries, 470 prototype-entries received, and only one winner. On our blog, our winner would have been entry no. 973, titled Origami Chair from Brooklyn-based design studio founded by James Dieter.

Constructed with polycarbonate and polyester mesh, the chair folds together from a single sheet into a three dimensional structure, strong enough to withstand the weight of an adult.

Check out dform -  you’ll find more James Dieter manipulating of flat sheet materials such as wood veneer or plastic and transform them into dynamic three dimensional forms.

My work, last semester. Trying to move on from this into something else. 

Origami House Inspired

This is one of the few that I was searching for. Folding Structures + Architecture.

From World Architecture News, origami lends a hand to UK architects creating this private residental extension. Because of the existing house’s unique geometric properties coupled with origami’s indefinite possibilities, the extension folds at the rear of the residency to create a new kitchen and dining space.

Frameless glass windows create dramatic views to both the sky and the garden, whilst the black zinc cladding provides a striking contrast to this fragmented transparency.

Between the folds film X Vanessa Gould

I can't wait to share this! One of the most amazing the Science of Art. This is the art of Folding.

Between the Folds work-in-progress screening will be at the August 2008 Rhode Island International Film Festival. Written and Directed by Vanessa Gould, she helps initiate a dialogue about this mysterious and misunderstood art with the guidance of ten renownthed origami masters.
