    An Artistic Odyssey

    Origami, the ancient Japanese art of folding paper, has captivated hearts for centuries. It embodies the fusion of precision and creativity, transforming a simple sheet of paper into an intricate masterpiece. Now imagine this exquisite craft applied to doors. Origami Doors take the concept of functionality and elevate it to an art form. Through delicate folds, sharp creases, and meticulous design, these doors transcend their practical purpose, becoming captivating works of art.

    Unfolding Possibilities

    Origami Doors bring a sense of playfulness and versatility to the spaces they inhabit. With their dynamic folds and multiple panels, they possess the ability to transform a room with a single movement. Imagine stepping into a room where the walls themselves seem to come alive as you unfold a door, revealing hidden spaces and altering the very essence of the environment. Origami Doors open up endless possibilities, allowing you to adapt and customise your living or working space to suit your needs and desires.

    A Symphony of Materials 

    While traditional origami utilizes delicate paper, Origami Doors expand the repertoire to wood. The wood not only enhances the structural integrity but also adds a touch of elegance and sophistication. Picture a sleek, wooden-framed Origami Door adorning a contemporary office space or gracing the entrance of a cozy home. The combination of textures and materials adds depth and character to the already captivating artistry. Mikasa offers four variations– Flexa, Origami, Papyrus and Tagram with an option to customise.
