Christophe Guberan, from the Industrial Design Bachelor Program at ECAL (The Arts School in Lausanne), conceived and developed the Hydro-Fold project, combining modern technology (ink-jet printer) and a very well-known and accessible material: paper. Hydro-Fold is a project that aims to explore the properties of paper and to print patterns that contort pieces of paper from 2D into specific 3D form in just a few minutes.
Christophe's project was awarded by Creative Applications Network among the 10 Best and Most Memorable Projects of 2012 in the intersection of art, media and technology, and was presented at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2012 in Milan in April 2012.
