Air Vases from Upon a Fold

I've been eying the lovely Australian paper shop, Upon a Fold (edit: site has closed), ever since it opened just over a year ago. Owners/graphic designers, Justine and Matt, traveled to Japan last June. It's no surprise then, considering Japan's flair for beautiful paper goods, that many of Upon A Fold's products are imported from there.

four collapsible white paper vases
Case in point... these collapsible, reversible, and fabulous paper Air Vases. Designed by Torafu Architects, not only do they look like a ton-o'-fun to shape (here's a must-see little video), they can also be stamped with ink to make a colorful statement.

    Wow! Those are amazing. I've flagged this so that I come back and watch the video some time when I don't have a munchkin crabbing in my ear. :)

    so light and pretty! i can see them upside down as some sort of lamp embellishment (after your last lamp post, i have it on my mind it seems!). the video was fun to watch.

    Fascinating. Thanks so much for linking that video. These are so lovely. There's another video of them all hanging from a very high ceiling. I can imagine them done up as jelly fish in a kid's room...

    I'm glad you all enjoyed seeing the vases.

    Mel thanks, I hadn't noticed that video, but you're right... it's very cool to see so many of them hanging.

    wow! They're so fragile looking, hard to believe they are made of paper. I liked seeing the colorful one in the video too. Thanks for posting.
