Origami Animals by Quentin Trollip

It’s amazing to think that all these origami animals were created out of a single uncut sheet of square paper. Although often two different coloured pieces of washi paper had to be stuck to each other to give added detail to the animals which are multicoloured.

Leaf Alphabet by Twan van Keulen

I love taking something from the physical world into the digital world and vice versa. In my work I often try to physically create something, and then use technology to digitise it. I try to stray away from my computer as much as possible because I find it hard to be motivated when staring at a box with buttons below it.

By precisely cutting leaves with a scalpel graphic designer Twan va Keulen was able to create a beautiful typographic piece that has a lovely light summery vibe. Poster prints will soon be available so make sure you keep updated with his work through the links below.

Pont de Singe (Monkey Bridge) by Olivier Grossetête

Located in the Japanese garden at Tatton Park, England, this dream like sculpture is suspended in the air by three helium filled balloons. Although the bridge could support the weight of several people, in theory, insurance issues hindered the idea especially in an increasingly litigious society, so the bridge was left in the middle of the lake to deter daredevils.

“Those are all pragmatic reasons for the inaccessibility, but I also think that this inaccessibility helps Pont de Singe avoid becoming a gadget or gag at the amusement park, instead becoming poetry. I think our imaginations takes us further than any balloon.”
