Summary
Dewi Brunet is a Brussels-based folding artist and innovator with nine years of professional experience turning origami, pleating, and crumpling into large-scale installations, workshops, and research collaborations. As an independent artist and former art director at Diatom Studio, she blends hands-on fabrication skills with urban planning sensibilities to transform public and interior spaces into immersive experiences. She co-managed Openfab’s fablab activities, leading open calls, project management, and maker education at the intersection of technology, environment, and community. Dewi partners with scientists to explore biomimetic folding principles, applying insights from botany and architecture to practical problems beyond aesthetics. Self-taught in folding and digital fabrication, she combines artisanal craft with prototyping methods to bridge art, design, and research. Her practice reveals how a single fold can encode functional, ecological, and narrative value in unexpected ways.
