- In Unfolded-Paper in Design, Art, Architecture and Industry paper conquers the third dimension and demonstrates the undreamed-of possibilities it holds today for lightweight construction, product design, fashion and art. From "Paper", the collection of bags by Stefan Diez, to Konstantin Grcic's paper models and the scented paper garments of Issey Miyake, this book presents paper as a high-quality contemporary and ecological material. An enormous selection of projects, the lavish design and numerous illustrations provide designers with invaluable inspiration for their work.

From Japanese washi paper and paper foam, to ceramic paper and carbon fiber paper, Unfolded presents the latest in research and development, as well as the most important methods and technologies in handcrafts and industry.
- Mit Unfolded - Papier in Design, Kunst, Architektur und Industrie erobert Papier die dritte Dimension und zeigt, welche ungeahnten Möglichkeiten Papier heute für Leichtbau, Produktdesign, Mode und Kunst bietet. Von der Taschenkollektion "Papier" eines Stefan Diez, über Konstantin Grcics Papiermodelle bis hin zu den duftigen Papierkleidern aus der Feder von Issey Miyake, präsentiert dieses Buch Papier als wertvollen, ökologischen und zeitgemäßen Werkstoff. Mit der enorm großen Auswahl an Projekten, der aufwendigen drucktechnischen Ausstattung und den zahlreichen Abbildungen liefert es Gestaltern wertvolle Inspirationen für ihre Arbeit. Als inhaltliches Fundament des Buches dient ein umfassendes Verzeichnis technischer Papiere und innovativer Papiertechnologien, das die Gestalter bei ihrer täglichen Arbeit mit Fachinformationen zum "Hightech"-Werkstoff Papier unterstützen soll.
