This industrial&nbsp;process&nbsp;whose originality has been confirmed by an international patents combines the flat book:&nbsp;the scroll and the volumetric book:&nbsp;the codex, and transforms them into a spatial book, a veritable work of art.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/522681/IMG_7739-1528027588.JPG" /></p><p><strong>Todi&eacute;Fold</strong>&nbsp;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.&nbsp; &nbsp;By folding each sheet along the predetermined crease, an image progressively appears on the exterior fold, transforming&nbsp;into a <strong>Todi&eacute;Fold</strong>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2Fqb2IOYc_NHc%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dqb2IOYc_NHc&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fqb2IOYc_NHc%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=8b7d8dd6504d41af9a77662672aabc2a&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="500" height="281" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For avid paper folders and paper lovers, this new object is appealing both for its playful nature and its beauty.&nbsp; 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 Todi&eacute;Fold 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&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DG5WGvfHECPQ&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FG5WGvfHECPQ%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=8b7d8dd6504d41af9a77662672aabc2a&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;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&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D7XbokRoeH1A&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F7XbokRoeH1A%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=8b7d8dd6504d41af9a77662672aabc2a&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="500" height="281" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p><p>In the Todi&eacute;Fold, beauty stems not only from the image produced on the exterior, but also in the way it uses the miracle of logarithms.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</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&nbsp;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&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DOqe20jXBSM8&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FOqe20jXBSM8%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=8b7d8dd6504d41af9a77662672aabc2a&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="500" height="281" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Todi&eacute;Fold team thanks you for your contribution and looks forward to launching this exciting new product.</p><p>Cristian Todi&eacute;
