This piece of paper may look unassuming to you, but when I tell you, it has one of the most ingenious designs that could revolutionize a huge portion of waste on this planet and transform how we think about design.
I'm not exaggerated.
And while this transformation may not seem that extreme, I'm about to explain why it is.
Now, Kiragami is origami's lesser known cousin.
It's simply a variation that allows you to use cuts in the paper, and these cuts can help to produce some really magnificent 3D shapes as well, including those cards.
You've probably seen that pop up with complex designs when you open them.
But what makes so special is that it allows you to deploy three dimensional shapes from flat material without the need of complex folding.
And when you have brilliant minds discovering the right shapes and cut patterns, the implications can be massive.
