Coorgami

CONTEXT

Climate change is a global phenomenon and we are all vulnerable to its impacts. We were inspired to create a product that would help to reduce overall room temperature while using zero electricity consumption.

USAGE

A set of blinds that adopts origami techniques to reduce overall temperature in your living space.

DESIGN CONCEPT

Applying the art of origami, folds were created to encourage both functional and aesthetic appeal. Different patterns could be implemented on the blinds to suit different themed living spaces. Furthermore, these could be expanded and compressed which makes it easy for storage with its flat packing capabilities. A wide range of materials is also suited for the production of Coorigami. It could come with different shapes, sizes and designs.

Research & Development

SCIENCE

Using a scientific theory that when air pressure increases, temperature decreases. Thus, when air passes from an open space into your living spaces through these vents, these smaller channels allow pockets of air to be compressed while eliminating the hotter molecules. This limits the overall hot air that enters the room.

ART

Inspired by the art of origami, we utilize tessellations to fabricate intricate designs. Origami offers unlimited ways of folding. The techniques can be achieved by manual folding of origami for simple construction or by using steam and compression for bigger production.

When it is flattened, the overall footprint reduces significantly. When expanded, the product channels air through its paths guiding air flow into the small vents causing the temperature to drop.

With the same technique of folding, it can be applied on to different materials such as fabric or felt, it could be used on many products while replicating the same effect. The opportunities are endless.

ART & SCIENCE
This is where science and art should meet to inspire. Combining the art of origami and scientifically proven experiments, we hope to initiate products for everyone to adapt to climate change.
