QUADILIC by Ilian Garibi
T
his model is a progression from a basic paper tessellation of a molecule. Unlike most tessellations, it is folded very slightly, without any overlapping.
Its shape, being as far removed as possible from the classic rectangle, creates a mesmerizing vision of shifting squares, giving rise to its name. As an origami artist and designer, I love to ďŹ nd applications that exceed the potential of paper. This model is created by four diagonal lines that emerge from the central square. It could not be any simpler, and yet the effect is quite the opposite.
Ilan Garibi | Five years ago, Garibi decided to become a professional origami artist. His main ďŹ eld was tessellations, perfectly suitable to design lamps, as he did with Aqua Creations. After creating a collection of 200 paper models it was time for a new challenge, folding new materials, especially those that, by nature, defy folding. His research helped him to fold fabric, glass, iron and steel plates, silver, wood and ceramic. Using this new knowledge he started to design products such as vases, jewellery, tables as well as works of art. These works are presented in Talents Design Gallery in Tel-Aviv. Ilan likes science-ďŹ ction and collects riddles. He unwinds to the tunes of classical Indian musical, enjoys teaching, is an autodidact, can juggle up to 4 balls and is mad about paper.
