When a paper is sandwiched between two matching surfaces, it traces the sandwiching surfaces’ and extends their shape into the space. Now if the sandwiching surfaces are curved, then paper is also shaped into a curved surface and creates a strong structure. Ripple is a series of solids that not only act as paper weight, but also are using this phenomenon, being pairs of matching solids, to turn paper sheets into stiff surfaces functioning as trays, vases or little shelves.
