Japanese artist Yuto Yamaguchi transforms hardcover books into sculptures by simply folding their pages. Without using scissors, he crafts the bold designs by intricately creasing each page so that together, they appear as one cohesive form. Yamaguchi’s excellent craftsmanship produces smooth curves and sharp lines, making pop culture characters, cups of coffee, and lettering instantly recognizable and easy to read.
While Yamaguchi does sell some of his artistic books, he’s also put their patterns for sale in his Etsy shop called OruFun. Using your own collection of novels, you can follow his step-by-step instructions to create folded masterpieces of your own.
