belgian designer tine de ruysser focused on the creation of wearable metal origami for her PhD at the royal college of art
in london. one of the products she developed for her project was this shoulder cape made from copper and polyester
combined in a geometric folding pattern. the unique geometry of the cape allows it to conform to the wearer’s body,
fitting like a fabric rather than a solid metal. the materials consist of small squares and triangular forms made from sheet
copper, connected together in a repeating pattern using the polyester. the shape of the metal gives the material its
malleability. de ruysser created a number of other objects for her project including skirts, bracelets and bags.
