LamiBlow

Kanako Aota +Yasuaki Kakehi


In this work, LamiBlow, we exhibit a device and samples of artifacts that enable the easy creation of inflatable structures. With this technique, it is possible to create inflatable structures using only common materials by partially inserting paper between packaging films and laminating them with a household laminator. By changing the films or paper used, or by drawing on them, it is possible to add color or patterns to the artifacts. Additionally, movements such as bending or curving during expansion can be created by inserting joint components. This work proposes a new fabrication technique that allows for easy and intuitive control of shape and appearance.
