Thanks to Christine for introducing Vincent Floderer and his “crimp”. I’m simply fascinated by his folding techniques that brought Issey Miyake to mind.
Crumpling or crimping is a sophisticated technique employing large uncut sheets of paper that are precisely patterned and creased. The numerous amounts of fold would result in beautiful volumes with elastic qualities.
Watch Vincent’s video here:
