Studio Ibbini, based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, unveils a mesmerizing exploration of negative space and botanical filigree through their extraordinary laser-cut paper. Helmed by the collaborative efforts of visual artist and designer Julia Ibbini and computer scientist Stephane Noyer since 2017, the studio showcases a profound synergy of artistic vision and technological innovation. Their latest collection, aptly named Symbio Vessels, delves into the three-dimensional possibilities of intricate patterns, pushing the boundaries of traditional paper art. The hallmark of Studio Ibbini’s work lies in the delicate dance between negative space and botanical-inspired filigree.

In Symbio Vessels, this dynamic interplay extends beyond the two-dimensional plane, as meticulously crafted sheets of patterns are layered to construct tangible, extruded structures. The process begins with hand-drawn patterns, which undergo refinement through a suite of digital design tools. An interactive parametric design tool adds another layer of complexity, allowing for further refinement of curve shapes through a feedback process. This meticulous and innovative approach results in mesmerizing paper sculptures that transcend the conventional boundaries of traditional artistry.

The Symbio Vessels collection not only showcases the technical prowess of Studio Ibbini but also emphasizes the symbiotic relationship between organic patterns and cutting-edge design technologies. By seamlessly merging the analog and the digital, Julia Ibbini and Stephane Noyer create a visual feast that invites viewers to immerse themselves in the intricate beauty of negative space and botanical filigree, challenging preconceived notions of what is achievable in the realm of laser-cut paper art.
