Tansu Gothic

2015-10-07T16:45:06.946Z

I am in love with this work by Randi Parkhurst! - Victoria
Tansu Gothic is a compelling work that challenges the notions and boundaries of book arts. From the first encounter, a sense of mystery is conveyed by the almost fortress-like architecture that is its exterior. A dizzying array of drawers, doors and hidden compartments only hint at what is within. The rich tone and textures of hand-painted papers and intricate handmade structures invite the viewer to explore the contents of this intriguing piece.

It took eight months for Randi Parkhurst to birth this complex creation: everything is handcrafted. Inspired by the Japanese cabinetry, Tansu, and its history, the structure has over 300 hardware pieces handcrafted of paper. Two accordion books, one featuring drawings of Japanese cabinetry tools, the other details of Tansu structural elements, two intricately hand bound books which tell the tragic story of the Meireki fire of 1657, using stunning cut paper images to convey their tale, a unique 3-panel folding map of Edo (ancient Tokyo), a tiny abacus made of paper and beads, three pairs of peddler’s boxes with their bamboo carriers, intricate folding paper globes, myriad drawers, piano hinged doors, secret compartments accessible by removable spires…these are some of the astonishing elements within. The almost obsessive detail in the two miniature Tansu structures hidden inside one-another like Russian dolls, complete with functional drawers and doors of almost microscopic size, reveal an attention to detail beyond what seems humanly possible.

This unique work of art reveals an intimate connection between content and structure, inspiration and magic. Randi Parkhurst's website is www.parkhurstpaperarts.com

Entfaltung - collapsible paper fashion by Jule Waibel

2014-10-29T14:26:20.965Z

Royal College of Art graduate Jule Waibel has designed a series of folded paper clothes and accessories including a dress that adjusts and expands as you move and a concertinaed handbag.

Transforming simple sheet materials into three-dimensional objects, Waibel's project, called Entfaltung (unfold/expand/develop), features a yellow dress that changes its shape according to the movement of the body, a green expandable bag and an orange-coloured umbrella.

"Collapsible structures reflect how our world is constantly changing," says designer Julie Waibel. "This project celebrates the beauty found between geometry, transformation and play."

Waibel told Dezeen how she spent months folding and pleating different materials, such as shower curtains, leather and polymers. The final structures are made from Tyvek, a lightweight, waterproof and tear-proof synthetic paper. The coloured gradient is printed on to the paper before it is folded.

"I got inspired by Mary Poppins and her magical handbag," Waibel told Dezeen. "Everything seems to fit inside: a mirror, a hatstand, a plant and more."

Waibel completed the project whilst studying on Platform 18 of the Royal College of Art's Design Products course, led by Sarah van Gameren and Philippe Malouin. She presented it at Show RCA 2013 last month.

Jiseung/Noyeokgae: paper weaving

2013-09-22T12:46:14.227Z

The process of cording and weaving hanji (Korean handmade paper) by a master weaver, Na Seo Hwan. He is a 3rd-generation master who learned from his father, who learned from his grandfather. He has also developed a more effective and efficient way of cording paper, which is different from the way most paper weavers work. This ancient paper craft, known formally as noyeokgae, still exists in Korea today but the intense labor, time, and strength required for it means that very few masters remain, and even fewer serious disciples.

Special thanks to my teacher, Na Seo Hwan.
Thanks to the U.S. Fulbright program for the time and funding to make this research possible.

Paper City by Maciek Janicki

2013-07-05T12:11:05.213Z

The streets are paved with paper. This delicate animation follows the charming rise and fold of a fragile metropolis.
Captured by an unseen helicopter, the narrative unfolds through winding roads, erupting forests and emerging mountains.
Paper City grows in one fluid take, with skyscrapers rising from the page – only to crumble, wrinkle and gently crease back into the ground.
