Kirigami

Kirigami is an art form and design technique that involves cutting and folding paper or other materials to create intricate, three-dimensional structures. Unlike origami, which focuses solely on folding, kirigami incorporates strategic cuts to add complexity and flexibility, allowing the creation of pop-up cards, sculptures, and architectural models. This method enables designers and artists to craft detailed, lightweight, and expandable forms that can transform from flat sheets into elaborate three-dimensional objects. Kirigami combines craftsmanship with creativity, illustrating how simple materials can be manipulated to produce visually striking and functional designs.
