Fold a fun set of one sofa, one chair and a few cushions created by Paolo Bascetta. Accurate creasing needed to 3D collapse the sofa and chair. The chair is not diagrammed and I figured out the paper proportions needed for this class. The chair requires some creasing then cutting off the folded paper to get the right proportions. Both the sofa and chair has the same 3D collapse. One cushion is a compound model folded from two pieces of paper.
In class, all paper will be supplied by OrigamiUSA and by teacher:

  • 1 sofa (1 pc x 10"/25 cm)
  • 1 chair (1 pc x 10"/25 cm, to be cut)
  • 2 cushions (4 pcs x 4"/10 cm). If there's more time, we will fold a 3rd cushion.

In photo: Sofa and Chair from folded from Japanese Shibori 8 1/4" (21 cm): Extra Large Tuttle Origami Paper. The cushion is folded from Japanese Shibori 4" (10 cm): Tuttle Origami Paper.

  • Uses cuts.
  • This will likely take longer than the completed class time to complete.
  • This class is not for beginners because there is a 3D collapse and we will move at a fast pace to finish on time.
Supplies

OrigamiUSA will supply paper, to be handed out by the teacher in class.

  • This is a modular/composite requiring 6 sheets.

Students, please bring:
• Bone folder or paper creaser for sofa and chair
• Bring scissors to trim off folded paper for chair
