Designed by Metal Goat in Tokyo, the Oogani table explores an alternative approach to domestic lighting through form, material, and fabrication. Shaped as a folded crab, the lamp draws from origami principles without replicating traditional paper-folding aesthetics, resulting in an object that sits between functional lighting and sculptural design. The lamp is part of Metal Goat's 'Capsule Animals' series, a collection of furniture and lighting objects that reinterpret animal forms through folded geometries.

The Rainbow World Fund (RWF) World Tree of Hope® is the largest origami-decorated holiday tree in the world, traditionally standing over 22 feet tall and adorned with over 20,000 origami cranes and stars, each hand-folded and inscribed with wishes for the future of the world. The RWF World Tree of Hope is created each year as a symbol of global unity, promoting peace, love, and humanitarianism. The Tree is a gift from the LGBTQ+ and friends community to the world.

The Ori Floor Lamp was designed from a single sheet of aluminum alloy, folded into shape without any welding or joints, embodying the Japanese concept of 'Ori' or folding.

Origami holds a noteworthy position in industrial design, becoming crucial in fields like robotic surgery and space engineering due to its space efficiency and precision.
