SUPER PAPER

“Inspired by the classic animal trophies I set out to find a timeless design you love to look at every day. The complex yet simple polygon structure reflects the modern design-approach. The Papertrophy animals feature a minimalistic cubic design. It represents simplicity while offering an astonishing look through shadows and light on the trophies. Their bright and vibrant colors create depth and radiate an extravagant elegance.” says Holger Hoffmann, the artist behind.

By weaving, creasing and tucking the surface of a paper sheet, austrian artist Aldo Tolino creates geometric mutations of human portraits. The distortions generate new facial representations, expressions, and personalities, translating the original picture into a manipulated deformity. Polygonic shapes that are formed on the closed plane transform noses, eyes, and mouths into abstract configurations, composing sculptural reinterpretations of the flat medium. The three-dimensional portrayals reconsider paper as a material by rendering it as a structural artwork. ―designboom.com
