Unexpected Origami

Perhaps it is just meaningful coincidence (when you think of something and then see it everywhere) but since Thursday's post, I have been seeing interesting uses of origami in unexpected places. Just thought I'd share..

New packaging by Studio Plastac for Marseilles, France based Compagnie de Provence's line of soaps. The reverse of the package is printed with instructions to construct the origami. **As a side note, I purchased this Compagnie de Provence hand creme in Rose last time I was in Paris and I have been obsessed with it since.

These mini cranes aren't as useful as they are adorably beautiful. Created by paper artist Mui-Ling Teh.

Maybe not real origami since the paper has been cut; however, still impressive. This wine bottle 'label' was constructed from a single piece of paper by a student at the Canadian University UQAM. [image via M.E. Design Magazine]
