kaberettYoshimoto's Cube, a series of three Excellent Foldy Fiddle Toys featured at MoMA available to view on YouTube.
There's also, and these I do not pretend to understand, a wide variety of origami guides, which I think are mostly for Cube #1?
This came up because I was, during a chat withsimont, fidgeting with one of my toys -- which, as previously mentioned, I first encountered in the gift shop at the Tate Modern. Simon brought out some of his foldy fiddly paper bits with no idea what they were called, we shook the internet, and ta-da! Modern art fell out.
(I am put in mind also of Calder's mobiles -- yes, like nursery mobiles, and I don't think it's just because I went to the Calder exhibition at the Tate Modern a few years back.)
