ONAK: the origami foldable canoe has been successfully funded on Kickstarter.

Our Challenge

To make our ONAK canoe so great we developed a patent pending extremely stiff yet creasable material that could open a lot of possibilities in origami design. What would you want we make with this most amazing technique?

Material

Instead of designing around the limits of existing materials, we developed our own: it is durable and flexible enough to be folded and unfolded multiple thousands of times. Our patent pending Honeycomb - Curv™ Polypropylene material became the backbone of our innovation. Aside from being extremely tough and fully recyclable, it allowed us to design a stiff canoe almost entirely in one piece, with very few other parts required. Honeycomb air cells give it so much additional buoyancy that it even stays afloat when entirely flooded with water.
