Introduction.

Boon trained as an architect at TU Delft and spent several years in Japan. There, she became fascinated by the 3D-folded structures in origami. In recent years, she has focused increasingly on innovative textile products and interior applications, with a particular interest in 3D structures. She creates her ‘Super Folds’ designs using Illustrator software. For more complex and irregular folding patterns, she uses a program developed by a Japanese mathematician. Boon has won numerous awards with her innovative textiles, including the Creative Heroes Award in 2017 and the Architizer Award in 2018.
