Textile objects

Description

ORIORI presents a collection of transformable, fully-woven, and self-supporting sculptural objects utilizing 3D origami structures as construction principle. Each object can alternate between different visual and tactile form outcomes based on contrasting elements within the aspects of shape, texture, color, and pattern. ORIORI is reimagining the craft of origami within the context of contemporary textile design through jacquard weaving. By embedding form-transformable mechanisms directly in the woven textile, material and form are created simultaneously in the loom. Through a hand-folding process, the 2D woven textiles are transformed into 3D origami objects hereby demonstrating a method to generate form exclusively through weaving.
