Origami

Origami is an ancient art form. Whatever field it is applied to, it will have its own unique language and style. It is a transformation from plane to two-dimensional and from two-dimensional to three-dimensional.

For people who like uniqueness, creations with origami elements are undoubtedly the perfect gifts. The similar structures can burst into bloom brilliantly in different design fields through different designer’s hands. The traditional crafts can be reborn through design and be applied to people’s daily life. That also may be one of the charms of design.

 

Modern origami is now not only an art, but also a new science: origami mathematics. It has been applied to the collection of solar panels for artificial satellites, airbags for automobiles, and even the structural design of the Hubble Space Telescope, which are partly thanks to the help of origami mathematics.
