Profile

Dewi Brunet is one of the world's few specialists to master and articulate different forms of folding, from origami to pleating and crumpling, in a coherent and innovative practice. With over twenty years of experience, he has dedicated himself to folding for more than a decade, developing a unique approach that lies at the crossroads of art, craft, and scientific research.

For Dewi, folding is not merely a technique: it is an aesthetic language and a lens through which to observe the world. Fascinated by nature's "folded intelligence," he draws inspiration from its structures to create sensitive and innovative applications, whether working with paper, textiles, or biomaterials. His practice, primarily manual, is enriched by contemporary and digital techniques, offering complete mastery of gestures, tools, and design processes.

For many years, he has collaborated with architects, designers, artists, and researchers to develop the folding technique in novel aesthetic and functional uses. This expertise has earned him recognition as a master craftsman from the Michelangelo Foundation, confirming the uniqueness and rigor of his approach.
