Who and why?

Why papirfoldning.dk?

This page is basically done because I can and find it fun to do. Because origami is entertaining. And because I wish other people may be inspired to fold, and to find like-minded folders. Feel free to contact me about origami!

Who am I?

My name is Hans Dybkjær, born 1961. I have folded paper since I learned it from my parents, and from 1970 also from Robert Harbin's "Origami" when the Danish copy entered our house. As young and later adult I have folded a lot, also complex models. But I prefer the simpler, cleaner models, in particular if they also can do something. I also find it fun to fold single-left-handed, or behind my back, or blindfolded, or fast, and to experiment with different kinds of paper. During the years I have brought home origami books as souvenirs from travels as well as what I could find in Denmark - many books in many languages. I believe I have 90% of what has been published in Danish.

Profesionally I'm a computer scientist working as a software engineer at Prolog Development Center A/s and have a lot of publications related to spoken dialogue systems.
