February 5th, 2007

I absolutely want one of these!

    Yeah, it’s pretty cool- I wish I knew more about the material used. it seems very strong and very thin. I’m intrigued.

    Does anyone know what is the accordian technique called? I remember fold out christmas decorations as a kid that used the same technique. I’ve been trying to track instructions for these down these, and also the three dimensional models built with slotted pieces of paper - they lie flat so they are mailable, but you can open them up into simple 3d sculptures. (Just received one in the mail that looks like a snowglobe with a wooden base when unfolded.) They sort of remind me of the separators for a case of wine, or whatever - if you pull that section out of the box, you can squish it flat. Don’t know what these are called either. It’s hard to find instructions when you don’t know the name! lol. I want want want that chair - only $800!
