In the Pipeline
At Taro's Origami Studio, we are constantly thinking of new and
exciting ways to recreate the world in paper! Currently we have a fire
house, and several new cars in the pipeline. We can't wait to introduce
them to you on this Web site. |
ORIGAMI IS WORLD ART
The word 'origami' is Japanese
that literally means to fold ('ori') and paper
('gami'). But did you know that Europe has its own paper folding
tradition that developed separately from Japan? The earliest known European 'origami' is
probably a 16th century Spanish baptismal certificate made into the shape of a
little bird called 'pajarita'. |

| My Origami Trucks Were Used at a
Technology Event, 7/19-21, 2006 |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I was recently commissioned to design an origami truck for a
3-day computer technology event. Our client was
Liberteks,
and together with their partner, Microsoft, they
organized an event whose primary focus was the high-tech
truck parked outside of their store for the duration of
the event. |
|
|
|
|
Our clients
printed guest names on top of the
truck and used them as name plates at a dinner
function. I thought that was really creative. The truck was
folded from a letter-sized paper, and was around 6-inches long. |
|
|
| |
 |
| |
 The
other side of the truck had this logo. |
|
"Chocolates, anyone?" |
| Another creative way our clients used our truck was to
nestle a box of chocolates inside the hollow of the truck to
give out as parting gifts. They had to enlarge the graphics a tad, but it
worked.
We just love the creative ways our clients use our
designs! |
