A memo pad costs $100, do you believe? And even more unbelievable because of the magic hidden in this Japanese Omoshiroi Block memo.
Japan is known as a country of the smallest details, meticulousness and sophistication. And one of Japan’s defining features is the art of origami – perhaps from a simple flat sheet of paper built into a real 3D world. But you will be even more surprised at what the Japanese can create with paper. Most recently, it was the Omoshiroi Block.
As adults, we’ve all had the experience of using sticky notes for things other than their own: swipe down their stacked pages with our thumbs and enjoy the hum, turn them into flip books by carefully drawing frames on each page, and even – in really boring times – cutting them into unusual sizes and shapes. Now Japanese architectural model maker Triad has raised that youthful impulse to great heights of aesthetic sophistication with their Omoshiroi Blocks lineup.
Omoshiroi Block can be translated as “funny block” or “funny memo” because its function is like a sticky paper of different colors so that users can write different kinds of notes and reminders like Job reminders, important things to remember, …. up there.
According to Spoon & Tamago, Triad uses “laser cutting technology to create what was at first just an ordinary square block of paper note cards. But when flash cards were used, an object started to appear. And you’ll have to use up the entire deck to fully unearth the hidden object.
But with such a normal appearance, the paper material is not rare, the function is becoming more and more familiar, but the Omoshiroi Block memory pad costs from 4,000 yen to 10,000 yen.
There is a “heavenly” price for a piece of memory paper because of the wonderful magic and beauty hidden inside this Omoshiroi Block. Produced by Japanese company Triad, whose main business is the production of architectural models, Omoshiroi Blocks uses laser cutting technology to create what was originally just a normal square block of cards. note.
But when the sticky notes were used and detached, another building emerged from the cuts. These flashcards consist of more than 100 sheets of paper and each sheet of paper is stacked, like layers of small layers to create a beautiful, realistic, meticulous and delicate paper-based architecture. According to Spoon & Tamago, Triad uses “laser cutting technology to create what was at first just an ordinary square block of paper note cards. But when flash cards were used, an object started to appear. And you’ll have to use up the entire deck to fully unearth the hidden object.
