Folding Techniques for Designers by Paul Jackson from Laurence King Publishing on Vimeo.
From an introduction to Paul Jackson's book 'Folding Techniques for Designers: From Sheet to Form'. This unique book explains the key techniques of folding, such as pleated surfaces, curved folding and crumpling. It has applications for architects, product designers, and jewellery and fashion designers. This short video explains the potential from such folds. Where such folds appear very complex yet are very simple but lend huge flexibility to the finished products.
