Computer Aided Origami-Candy Boxes
So I reverse engineered a box for a friend that has the origins listed as a Japanese Anemone box that Christiane recognized as similar to a Fujimoto box. They are all variations on a theme. So I decided to play with curvature on these boxes and the results are below along with nondirectional crease patterns. What was so interesting is that a slight change with where the curvature is makes a large difference in the end product. So everything is creative commons on this site as always. Hope you enjoy. If you would like the viacad or adobe illustrator files email me and I can send them so you can tweak the design yourself. Remember playing with a design is half the fun.
This particular design is reminiscent of the collapsible lids. I also employed these nibs in a box I did awhile back.
Hello, I would be interested in the files to print out the patterns in a nice quality. Also a hint on howto to fold nice circles would be appreciated because I’m used to straight folds from animals and insects e. g. from Lang. Thanks in advance!
Sincerely yours Bernd
Can you do adobe illustrator files or viacad? I can email you the files. Also I score for the best results with a out of ink pen or a stylus. I freehand curves now but initially that was problematic.
I’m on Linux and did a little resarch, Gimp and Inkscape can handle Adobe Illustrator files. Thx!
My english isn’t so good, but there’s a thing I can say: Wonderful works! Vania
Thanks Vania:)

Hi Christine,
Just learned of your works, and I must say they are quite lovely
I have never used CPs before, and I have a rather stupid question, but how does one figure out which lines are valleys, and which are mountains?
Please excuse my ignorance,

Just found your blog, and I can’t tear myself away. Amazingly beautiful! I’d love to try out the candybox variations on my own. Please send Illustrator files.
