Michaela Crie Stone lives and works in Rockport, Maine, where she creates pieces that push the parameters of function by blurring the lines between art, craft, and design.
Israeli designer Ofir Zucker in collaboration with origami artist Ilan Garibi, has created the Palmas concrete origami vase collection for Talents Design. Palmas is a vase collection made of concrete, each casted into a hand folded origami mold. Each pattern consists of 150-250 molecules, according to its height.
The origami mold has a one-time use only, once the concrete hardens inside it, the paper is peeled off – a process which creates each vase as a unique piece. The whole collection consists out of two basic shapes – a triangle and a circle, patterned and combined in different sizes and proportions.
The sharp lines and rough concrete stand in contrast to a soft glass top which can be taken out for filling water.
