This logarithmic spiral is furled and unfurled by pulling and releasing a string that passes through the inner radius of each section.
Materials: laser-cut plywood, nails, string

All of these frames were cut from a single piece of wood. They are similar, and logarithmically scaled. Their shape was designed to allow them to be combined to form a spiral tiling.
Material: laser-cut plywood

This folding spiral exhibits a surprising behavior when held aloft: the spiral rises up, seemingly defying gravity.
Materials: laser-cut plywood, cloth, glue
