Cartd Vessels is a set of three paper vases that expand from flat cut-outs into open forms through a single folding motion. Each vessel, when opened, is capable of holding a small floral arrangement.
The mechanism behind this is a paper hinge — a fold that activates multiple creases at once, giving a flat sheet the capacity to open into volume. This is how the Vessels series was conceived: flat cut-outs of vases gaining an additional dimension through motion.
A 3D-printed collapsible stand, designed to contain water and support live floral arrangements, is included.
