This is actually one of her most famous projects, called Roborigami. The name combines the English word Robot (robot) and the Japanese word Origami (origami). The literal translation is "origami robot", but just from the appearance, it is almost an enlarged version of the origami work. It is light, simple, and unique. It has the simplicity of paper, as if it was done simply by hand as we did when we were children. They are cute and beautiful.
What about the actual production process? First test it with a paper template to actually make origami, and then make the plastic sheet look like an origami work, and put an electronic instrument in the middle to make it swing gently and make sounds..
Roborigami has appeared in many For art festivals and public spaces, Coco Sato is commissioned to create surreal and dreamy effects in those spaces, such as a group of white foxes standing in the snow, or a large field of water lilies lighting up a lake at night.
Coco Sato herself said that she We hope to use origami to create a fantasy world from a Japanese perspective (the "fantasy world" is similar to the wonderland that Alice fell into from the rabbit hole), where visitors can explore their relationship with space and their own hearts, and where urbanites can Find peace.
Both the fox and the water lily are hers Inspired by ancient Japanese legends and Buddhist symbols. In Japanese culture, foxes are highly revered and regarded as messengers of the gods, while pure white water lilies are associated with a place of pure bliss. Therefore, it is not surprising that these cute-looking origami works are also considered to have an Eastern Zen feel.
Coco Sato also does origami-related product design, and will hold workshops for children and those who are interested in learning. People who make origami share their skills.
