Matthew Holbein + Emily Brooks

Matthew Holbein and Emily Brooks founded The Foliage Library in 2014. Their goal is to promote environmental and botanical education through illustrated geometric folding books with forms that relate conceptually to their content. In addition to this, the very structures of their books present a learning opportunity as they incorporate a great deal of geometry and mathematical thought. The books incorporate elements of art, geometry, engineering, and environmentalism and can help awaken interests in these topics in both children and adults.
