Designer Origami

"Designer Origami" by master folder Matthew Gardiner is a beautiful, step-by-step guidebook designed to elevate the traditional art of paper folding into contemporary art pieces. Moving away from overly simple children's crafts, this book features an elegant collection of unique models, ranging from sleek, modern geometric shapes and stylized animals to intricate decorative objects.

Each project is accompanied by clear, color-coded diagrams, precise folding lines, and photography of the finished creations. Gardiner also shares professional tips on paper selection, advanced folding techniques (such as wet-folding and tessellations), and the history of origami. It serves as an inspiring and meditative guide for intermediate folders to master the crisp, satisfying lines of designer-level origami.
