The Root Bags

The Root Bags are two sets of bags, one developed from a square and the other from a 1:2 rectangle. Both sets contain moduli of right triangles with hypotenuses that are the square roots of 2 and 5 multiplied by the base, respectively. The product is made of recycled washable paper. Its multi- functionality also eliminates the need for additional purchases, thus reducing material consumption and promoting sustainability. The Root Bags aim to maximise the user’s sense of involvement in the product’s construction. With clear instructions and pre-scored creases, these bags immerse the user in the sensory beauty of origami. By passing on the style decision to the user, the user experience is also optimised.
