Several years ago, we posted about the Oru, the origami kayak. Now, two Belgian designers, Otto Van de Steene and Thomas Weyn, have developed ONAK, an origami full-sized  canoe with urban paddlers in mind.  The canoe is made of a custom-made polypropylene which is both robust and light weight.  The canoe is made of recyclable materials and  weighs only 37 lbs and measures 47 x 15 x 10 inches when folded. ONAK’s case on wheels can be unfolded into a two to three person canoe in 10 minutes. ONAK is now running a Kickstarter campaign to fund initial production and so far have raised close to $190,000.  The ONAK is a very interesting design, particularly for those who want the flexibility of a canoe but have limited storage space.
