Kate's Paperie : Ideas and Inspiration : THE TEAR SHEET : Page Turner

A graphic designer by trade, he’s also added the title of paper sculptor to his resumé, as evidenced by the rather elaborate pop-up creations in these movies. Not your typical narrative pieces, these are more like explorations in paper transformations. Some forms like Dahmen’s peacock and butterfly are more mundane in theme (though certainly no less elaborate), but I do like his abstract structures that seem especially unexpected for the medium.

With pieces ranging in looks from the architectural to the biomorphic, Dahmen seems most interested in pushing the limits of what he can make spring to life on a page. And how! It’s actually quite fascinating to behold these forms in the videos, because while the finished looks may seem attainable enough for paper crafters, it’s the transformational aspects that can seem mind-boggling.

TetraBox Light by Ed Chew. Liquid to Light Designer Ed Chew takes a green step in the right direction with the TetraBox lamp, a light object made from discarded drink packets that would have otherwise ended up in landfills already packed to the brim.

The design is achieved by unfolding the packets and refolding them into hexagonal and pentagonal sections that are then pieced together to form a geodesic sphere or any other desired shape. Here, the Epcot-like ball makes an attractive overhead light and casts an impressive web of shadows and shapes on the surrounding space. Designer: Ed Chew. Origami For Everyone.
