Our thesis explores the world of origami trying to go into the deepest aspect of origami design.
We start to analyse the historical evolution of this art from the beginning until this century. Then the technique and the design of artistic origami, following the work of two pionieers of modern origami: Peter Engel and Robert J. Lang. Next step: how to employ this technique in industrial design and how to translate this simplicity in products design. The last part of our work groups some products that strictly use an “origami-way” design. We didn’t analyse packaging design considering more interesting how origami interact with other needs and others materials. For this reason we divided this projects by material (paper, wood, metals..) and we examined all their properties and processing techniques that can be employ to made an “industrial origami”...
