This industrial process whose originality has been confirmed by an international patents combines the flat book: the scroll and the volumetric book: the codex, and transforms them into a spatial book, a veritable work of art.</p><p> </p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/522681/IMG_7739-1528027588.JPG" /></p><p><strong>TodiéFold</strong> is innovative, creates new value, captures new demand and breaks new ground.</p><p>The magic of this new object opens the mind to a new understanding of a special kind of geometry, that traces its origins back to the beginning of time. By folding each sheet along the predetermined crease, an image progressively appears on the exterior fold, transforming into a <strong>TodiéFold</strong>.</p><p> </p><p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2Fqb2IOYc_NHc%3Ffeature%3Doembed&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dqb2IOYc_NHc&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fqb2IOYc_NHc%2Fhqdefault.jpg&key=8b7d8dd6504d41af9a77662672aabc2a&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube" width="500" height="281" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p><p> </p><p>For avid paper folders and paper lovers, this new object is appealing both for its playful nature and its beauty. Folding and unfolding the book alone are both gratifying and relaxing, <u>allowing the mind to wander, enjoying a stress reducing experience with this otherworldly geometric object.</u></p><p>The TodiéFold can be folded in several directions, revealing an surprisingly unexpected series of refractions and mirror images.</p><p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FG5WGvfHECPQ%3Ffeature%3Doembed&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DG5WGvfHECPQ&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FG5WGvfHECPQ%2Fhqdefault.jpg&key=8b7d8dd6504d41af9a77662672aabc2a&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube" width="500" height="281" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p><p>The repetitive and pleasant act of folding relaxes the mind and spirit while at the same time projecting the image in nearly three dimensions.</p><p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2F7XbokRoeH1A%3Ffeature%3Doembed&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D7XbokRoeH1A&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F7XbokRoeH1A%2Fhqdefault.jpg&key=8b7d8dd6504d41af9a77662672aabc2a&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube" width="500" height="281" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p><p>In the TodiéFold, beauty stems not only from the image produced on the exterior, but also in the way it uses the miracle of logarithms. </p><p> </p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/523739/todie_rondhgf-1528298596.jpg" />The Fibonacci Logarithm, a spiral essentially in nature, can be perceived in the superior surface of the Fold.</p><p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FOqe20jXBSM8%3Ffeature%3Doembed&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DOqe20jXBSM8&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FOqe20jXBSM8%2Fhqdefault.jpg&key=8b7d8dd6504d41af9a77662672aabc2a&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube" width="500" height="281" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p><p> </p><p>The TodiéFold team thanks you for your contribution and looks forward to launching this exciting new product.</p><p>Cristian Todié (Romania, Paris), Karyn Bauer (Paris), Raluca Maxim (Romania), Ali Senol (Romania), Charlie Verne (Paris) and the Gemon.</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/524872/everybodyontheteam-1528578567.jpg" /></p><p> </p>
<p>With the 2000€ we hope to raise, this crowdfunding campaign will provide necessary funds to cover costs for a website and to develop proper packaging for the <strong>TodiéFold</strong>.</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/524873/PREZENTARE_TFB-1528579551.jpg" /></p><p>We hope this project will appeal to paper lovers, and with 4000€, we would hope to launch limited production of a Mini TodiéFold, a small handheld version of the TodiéFold displayed here and revealed at the Museum Connections trade faire in Paris in January, 2018.</p><p>With 6000€, we will add a limited edition <strong>TodiéFold</strong> to the print line!</p>
