Anti-Shade Origami Flower Vase

This DIY flower vase is designed by Rei Mitsui Architects and Tachi Tomohiro, a professor and origami researcher at the University of Tokyo. Incorporating scientific origami principles, the graceful, twisted structure of the vase can be folded from a single, flat sheet of paper, demonstrating the complex possibilities that can be derived from a simple object. Using innovative computational origami, the vase evokes a sense of handcrafted pottery and perfectly highlights the flowers within. It features a print design that manipulates the shading of the vase and creates an illusion of disappearance, attempting to diminish the vase’s visibility and enhance the presence of flowers.

Instruction manual included.

Kantō

The Kantō region is densely populated and home to a third of the country's population. It is centred around the nation's vibrant capital – Tokyo, formerly known as Edo, which has been the cultural, economic and political heart of Japan for centuries. Outside this megacity, there are mountains, onsen and ski resorts, magnificent temple complexes and excellent surfing opportunities within easy reach.
