BOTANICAL ORIGAMI KIT
THE PROJECT
As an expansion of a daily passion project where I crafted an origami bouquet over a span of 40 days, I created a comprehensive kit that targets a specific niche and aesthetic I feel does not quite exist in the origami market today. Inspired by the Botanical Collection from LEGO®, the origami kit is geared towards an adult demographic that appreciates origami as an art form and of which possesses an advanced origami skillset.
ON THE MARKET
At the moment, many origami kits are marketed towards beginners (typically children). These sets often include cheap, brightly colored paper and teach simpler origami models. The kits advertised for people with intermediate to advanced skills are certainly more polished, however, many of these lack uniqueness in terms of packaging design.
THE FOLD CO. BOTANICAL ORIGAMI KIT
The intention behind my kit is to elevate what’s currently available out there on the market. I wanted to design something that feels more mature and sophisticated and less like a Christmas gift for young children. From the start, the unboxing experience is much more than simply sliding a box out from a sleeve. As each panel of the packaging unit is pulled back, the contents of the kit are revealed: an instruction booklet detailing how to create various botanical models and several sets of labeled, pre-cut tant origami paper.
