Schweini the origami pig
« Schweini the origami pig» is the newest abstract of Zürich’s object designer Tom Strala – a sheet of copper folded to a young pig off hand.
Schweini(firmenpresse) - A few years ago Tom Strala stirred up the design scene.
His luminaires «tms» connect consequent architecture with artful sensuality.
With the same manufacturing technic this new sketch is created. An object that is folded off hand – alike the Japanese paper folding art origami. In contradiction to the light «tms» «Schweini» lets you be part of the folding process. „Becoming part of a metamorphose by folding stiff materials by hand is fascinating“ says Strala about the object «Schweini».
This young pig is the ideal christmas present for creative minds and people with a sense for aesthetics. With «Schweini» everyone has luck, or simply a lot of fun with an adorable fold-pig!
«Schweini» is available at Strala for 49 Chf.

Unternehmensinformation / Kurzprofil:
Tom Strala was born in 1974 in Schaffhausen. 2001 he finished the master of architecture at the ETH Zurich. After his study he went on a scholarship trip to Brazil (Erich Degen Foundation - Topic: 'The built belief in a better world'). He begins to break with traditional ways. Consistent and playful at the same time, he is looking for own ideas. In the same year Tom Strala founded the design atelier STRALA. Over the last few years, Strala has been painstakingly creating a unique collection of objects d’art exclusively invented, handcrafted and offered in limited editions. An idea is not a question of luck it is a process. In 2006 his “tms360” was internationally recognized as the ‘European Luminary of the Year ’. In 2007 Tom Strala acted as the jury president for the first ‘Innovation and Design Award’ in Zurich. Since 2008 STRALA is organized as a limited company. STRALA’s objects are exclusively available at the gallery in the Dufourstrasse in Zurich.
