Vortex

A folded-paper sculpture generated by algorithm

Vortex is a tessellated, paper-folded sculpture made for the Vjemy design studio’s stand at Designblok 2016. Its faceted geometry picks up on Vjemy’s polygonal porcelain and the undulating surface of their oak table. People read different things into it — a flame, a wind vortex, a cluster of crystals. The form was generated by an algorithm: input data drove the digital model, which was then folded into the physical piece at the centre of the stand.
