Observing an Embaúba leaf, the following question popped up: how would it be possible to transform this ramification pattern into an origami, which is usually very symmetrical? How to make folding patterns similar to some in Nature? Like a leaf that withers. This pieces were design with withering in mind. They come flat, to facilitate their transport and storage, and when used they open. They are made of a neutral ph paper, instead of an acid one, so they are more durable and won't yellow in time like rice paper does. The plaiting on the surface is made in natural vegetable pigments.

v.az is a partition screen that transmits the idea of fluidity. Due to its soft openings and the idea of movement these transmit, it is a poetic and interactive furniture piece. It was drawn on a computer and inspired on triangular patterns of leaf coloring, such as those in the false shamrock and the calathea-louisae. This inspired the creation of opposing triangular openings. When the shape is changed, what is revealed on the background changes as well due to its openings.
