Best of show: Products

Inspired by the traditional Japanese art of origami, Unfold Studio created a line of folded-paper products that are environmentally correct and aesthetically gracious. Reusable items in the collection include a vase, photo frames, wine tote and set of paper serving trays. The paper plate is disposable. Every object is hand-folded in the correct artisanal manner, without recourse to glue or mechanical perforations.

Alsop: This is the winner for me. It’s outstanding.
Drobot: This is very cool.
Schleeh: I love the fact that a minimal amount of material goes into a substantial form.
Daoust: It’s elegant, fresh, sophisticated and beautiful.
Niven: The paper is unwaxed, which makes it recyclable. This is the most imaginative green product we’ve seen so far.
