Designers are ever conscious that paper need certainly not be a two dimensional medium. The Kakine Screen proves this by expressing itself as a dynamic surface with discernible texture and depth. Yasutoshi Mifune of Japan created this complex room divider by cutting individual strips of the fine material and folding and wrapping them together with the help of fixing pins.
The result is a handsome homogenous lattice that allows areas of light penetration and obstruction. It can even be customized according to the repetition of different unique shapes to produce more intricate patterns. What's more, the Kakine Screen might look delicate, but it is actually fairly sturdy. In addition to serving as a space separator, the interior trellis can hold photographs and other lightweight items in its little offshoots.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Dynamic Paper Surfaces
- The innovative use of paper in creating dynamic surfaces can open up new possibilities for interior design and product development.
- Customizable Homogenous Lattice
- Customizable repetition of unique shapes in creating homogenous lattices can lead to new design possibilities both in interior design and architecture.
- Functional Paper Furniture
- Exploring the sturdiness and functionality of paper in furniture design can unlock new and sustainable manufacturing processes.
Sectors Adopting This
- Interior Design
- Paper-based partition products such as the Kakine Screen can disrupt the traditional interior design industry by introducing new design possibilities.
- Product Design
- Innovation in paper folding techniques can lead to new product designs that are both functional and sustainable.
- Sustainable Manufacturing
- Exploration of the sturdiness and functionality of paper as a manufacturing material can disrupt traditional manufacturing processes and introduce more sustainable options.
