Paper Envelopes
Posted July 18th, 2008 in design, paper arts, technologyThe history of origata, the art of carefully folding gifts in decorative paper, will take you to Japan, 1336. Originally developed to wrap decorative fans or kelp in handmade paper, correctly folded origata can tell you about the relationship between the sender and receiver or the event the gift forecasts.
The Origata Design Institute honors the legacy of origata by resurrecting and reinventing traditional folding techniques.
