Papier Machine booklet features electronic toys that are made from its pages
French designers Marion Pinaffo and Raphaël Pluvinage have designed a set of 13 electronic toys that are cut, folded and assembled from paper printed in special ink.Â
The pair set out to create toys that would highlight the omnipresence of electronics, using paper printed with conductive or thermosensitive ink, and a kit of components such as batteries and propellors.
"As pointed out in its title, Papier Machine is mainly made of paper, a familiar material that one isn't afraid to mess up," Pinaffo told Dezeen.
"Paper can be layered, creased, folded, bent, cut, fragmented, frayed, flattened, hung on walls, assembled into volumes ? these simple actions enable super low-tech though interactive experiences."
The Switch toy requires a piece of bundled foil to be thrown into it to complete a circuit and allow five black dots to change colour, while the Playing Track sends a ball bearing down a zigzag path to create different noises. Another toy needs a pencil to make marks and create different sounds, and another, target-style device uses humidity sensors and colour-changing ink to respond to spitballs by revealing secret letters. The pair also used wind sensors to create a ghost-shaped toy with paper fringes that bleeps when it's blown on.
"We wanted to show that electronics are not magical, but have chemical and physical principles and that all these invisible sensors have shapes,"Â added Pinaffo.Â
