"Our differences are our richness"

The Origami 2018 collection is made up of designs that are simple and natural, yet colourful, playful, and full of contrasting detail — spaces that don't compromise on either luxury or function. This year, without chasing any particular trend, the idea that "our differences are our richness" sets the theme for these timeless designs. Being Origami means travelling between dramatic, emotional, passionate and mystical cultures, finding the best ideas in the world, interpreting them, making them your own, and retelling them in your own language — turning dreams into reality.

Heritage

The Origami story

Every living space tells a story, and Origami's began long before this catalogue did. The brand sees furniture not merely as an object but as a work of art — each design a reflection of a passion for detail, careful craftsmanship, and a considered choice of materials.

That instinct for bold experimentation, timeless above all trend, runs in the family. Origami's roots trace back to a furniture-making tradition dating to the 1950s, passed down from fathers to sons. The brand itself was founded in 2009 by Fatih Karakan and Akın Ayva, who built a design vision around distinctive aesthetic needs.

This 2018 catalogue is one chapter of that ongoing story: six collections shaped by the same desire to make a living space more special, more personal, and a little surprising.
