HOW IT STARTED

About

Why the name?

Like everyone I started folding traditional cranes out of paper. Unlike everybody I fell in love with folding with metals.

I was inspired to take the leap of folding metals by one of my favourite tv-series Avatar: The Last Airbender. One of the characters in te serie is Toph Beifong, who was the first ever to bend metal, hence the name.

Toph’s Origami was founded in 2021, when I started experimenting with simply folding paper. This creative outlet quickly turned into an obsession when I discovered how to make origami with metals.

Moving forward

I’m always on the lookout for fun, challenging and new origami pieces to fold out of metal.

The selection in my shop is always evolving. There is a chance certain items are a one of a kind or some pieces are made in batches and won’t come back in a long time. If you do see a piece and really would like to have it made even when it’s out of stock, feel free to contact me.
