There is something oddly satisfying about folding a flat square of paper into a piece of furniture that actually stands up. This origami table does exactly that — a sturdy little four-legged table that rises out of a single sheet, no glue or cuts required. The sequence is long but repetitive, so once the first corner clicks, the rest fall into place. It makes a perfect prop for a miniature room or just a fun conversation piece on your desk.
