The Origami Swift will be most beautiful without a rack. While I think that it's great that there's mounts on the frame for a rack for those who want one, aesthetically such a thing will detract from the bike's sleek simplicity.
Xootr sold a beam rack specially designed to clamp around their model's over-sized seatpost. I toured with it in the Yucatan once and found it worked ok. It wasn't capable of hauling super-düper heavy loads, but carried my clothes no problem and performed better than other beam racks I'd tried in the past, I think owing to the larger surface area underneath the clamp on the enlarged seatpost.
Anyway, good luck whatever you do. For what it's worth I thought your last rack design looked ok, so pity it wasn't up to snuff. Can't help but think that maybe the gods might be saying "keep it simple" though. I realise that's my own bias coming out.
