Origami

Origami, the art of paper folding, can be used to create hundreds of different images and shapes and could provide a decorative and interesting solution as a form of packaging. Different materials used can give a unique aesthetic to the form and could make my packaging more visually interesting. I want to look into the various ways that origami can be used to make boxes and a forms that could hold something. The experience could be heightened by making it more like opening a present by using multiple layers, like in Russian dolls or pass-the-parcel.
I also want to look into ways that the paper could be given more strength or even fragility by applying different finishes to it and also what different aesthetics could be achieved through this.
