As an admired fan of origami artist Tomoko Fuse for her designs on origami boxes, I have been folding her boxes with selected fabrics for over 20 years.

The boxes are hand-folded and put together in unit origami methods with subtle or no gluing necessary. No cardboard box underneath. They come in many different shapes such as triangles, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons. Many boxes feature origami designs both inside and out. All the boxes come in two pieces: a box and a lid.

Fabrics are 100% cotton and are pre-treated with a fabric stiffener which enables the fabric to retain folds and hold its shape. Once stiffened, they are cut into square pieces ready for folding.
