Currently, these are mostly tessellations, boxes, modulars and other geometric models. Apart from lots of model images, there are diagrams and blog posts related to origami.Michał KosmulskiDodecahedron (Penultimate Unit)2024-03-16T00:00:00+01:002024-03-16T00:00:00+01:00https://origami.kosmulski.org/models/dodecahedron-penultimateA regular dodecahedron made from Penultimate Unit, designed by

used on the box. This model differs from Square Interlace Tessellation by just one
fold: in the last step, there is a simple valley fold instead of a reverse fold. This small modification changes the look of the tessellation quite a bit. The
valley fold has the tendency to unfold (can you spot it in the picture?), so either use paper with very good memory, or resort to wet folding or ironing to keep
the folds in place.]]>michal-kosmulskiStar with Color Change (CFW 172)2024-03-09T00:00:00+01:002024-03-09T00:00:00+01:00https://origami.kosmulski.org/models/star-color-change-cfw-172A color-changed star designed by Shuzo Fujimoto.]]>shuzo-fujimotoStar a la Fujimoto III2024-03-09T00:00:00+01:002024-03-09T00:00:00+01:00https://origami.kosmulski.org/models/star-a-la-fujimoto-iiAnother model using my Color-Wrap Rays technique together with Shuzo Fujimoto’s

as the tightly rolled layers become hard and form a kind of club. I learned about this quirky kind of practical origami
quite recently, and found it an interesting case of engineering since the right folds change the properties of a sheet of paper quite significantly.]]>traditionalCut Surfaces of a Cube (CFW 339)2024-03-09T00:00:00+01:002024-03-09T00:00:00+01:00https://origami.kosmulski.org/models/cut-surfaces-cube-cfw-339This interesting model by Shuzo Fujimoto represents a cube with a corner cut off. Depending on the proportions of the
paper strip used, the cut surface is closer or further to the cut off vertex, resulting in a triangular or hexagonal shape. This particular model is folded from
a 4:1 rectangle, resulting in a cut which goes exactly along three faces’ diagonals.]]>shuzo-fujimotoTraditional Bracelet with Squares2024-03-09T00:00:00+01:002024-03-09T00:00:00+01:00https://origami.kosmulski.org/models/bracelet-traditionalA traditional bracelet decorated with a pattern of squares formed by color change. This model is very simple to fold, and depending on the number of iterations
you fold, you can get a broader bracelet with fewer large squares, or a narrow one with many small squares. I find this model really nice, which, combined with
its simplicity, makes it a great model for teaching to newcomers. Surprisingly, I couldn’t find any pictures of this model online (perhaps it is known under
a different name than I used to search), and using visual search I only found my own pictures and a tutorial on youtube.]]>traditionalBox with Woven Triangles XXI2024-03-09T00:00:00+01:002024-03-09T00:00:00+01:00https://origami.kosmulski.org/models/box-woven-triangles-xxiAnother box with a tessellation molecule from the Woven Triangles family. The triangles are visible in deep
layers of the model, surrounded by a flat frame.]]>michal-kosmulskiIso-Area Stars (CFW 291)2024-03-03T00:00:00+01:002024-03-03T00:00:00+01:00https://origami.kosmulski.org/models/iso-area-stars-cfw-291This translucent design by Shuzo Fujimoto would be called an iso-area tessellation in modern parlance since both sides
sport the same pattern (except for being mirrored). It looks most impressive in back-light.]]>shuzo-fujimoto
