Once Uponafold…
Friday, May 28th, 2010I think the versatility of paper is overlooked far too often. It’s astonishing what a bit of inventive cutting and folding can do. Look at Peter Callesen’s www.petercallesen.com paper cuts and instillations, or Simon Schubert’s www.simonschubert.de paper foldings. My latest campaign (this time for paper appreciation) is all thanks to Uponafold uponafold.com.au, which is run by Sydney-sider Justine and her husband Matt.
Uponafold is a blog and online paper store. No, not a paper store in the boring “we sell stationary and witty birthday cards” sense. But a paper store in the magnificent “look at our paper artistry from around the world” sense. My absolute favourite is the perfectly engineered pop-up dollhouse. If I was the big, bad wolf - peeking through the windows and seeing the quaint paper furniture - I would think twice about blowing this house down. But the wonders don’t stop there, have a gander at the concertina books and origami tessellations!
