Origami

65 comments
« The term Origami refers to the ancient Japanese art of folding paper 折り紙 o-ri-gami, ori = folding kami = paper.  to create flowers, animals, three-dimensional geometric shapes and everything that our imagination suggests.  It is linked to transformation: a sheet of paper can become anything, and in the same way a fragile element like paper is an excellent metaphor for life, destined eventually not to end, but to transform again.
Folding paper helps to relax, make each fold with gentleness and precision, act calmly and respectfully avoiding haste. Aren't they the same principles with which we also build Lego?
We build from flat pieces to three-dimensional models with simple connections and by changing the opening angle we can make the shapes always different.
From this idea everyone can then take inspiration for new Lego origami to be made at home with their own pieces available and will be able to invent new figures.

In this Set I propose:
  • THE SHIP: The most classic and best-known piece among origami. Built with rectangular plates, angles and connectors with double angle change. The sail, on the other hand, is made up of normal and corner bricks.
  • THE AIRPLANE: Another common piece that each of us in life has made. They are flat pieces and connectors with double angle change.
  • THE BIRD: Figure assembled with corner plates and spine with special wind screen piece.
  • THE WHALE: Built with rectangular, corner plates and single angle change connectors.
  • THE CRAB: Built with rectangular plates, corner plates and single angle change connectors.
  • THE FROG: Built with rectangular, angle, smooth plates and single angle change connectors.
  • THE PINWHEEL: Built with rectangular plates, angles and single angle change connectors. All the wings are not fixed but simply leaning on each other creating an interlocking.
 
THANK YOU!
Having started designing LEGO relatively recently, I would absolutely love your support for this project and/or any tips and tricks you may suggest making this design an even better end product. Thank you for your time and support!
