Silveroctahedra
 
  Name: Silveroctahedron (1). Like the silverhexahedron this design will flatten and pop back into shape, hence it can also be called the Pop-up Silveroctahedron (1). This form can be made from many different parallelogram modules such as Sonobe, Corner-pocket Sonobe and Letterbox modules.

Modules / Paper shape / Folding geometry: 2 sets of 2 mirror-image parallelogram modules from squares using standard folding geometry.

Designer / Date: David Mitchell, 1989 and 2016.

Diagrams: On-line diagrams for both the Sonobe and Letterbox versions are available on the Diagrams for Modular and Macromodular Designs page of this site.
