CoP: Theory into Practice : Papercraft

Bert Simons

I studied industrial design at the Design Academy Eindhoven from 1986-1991 and graduated at the department 'man and living'.

Since I have been working on projects and products concerning product and interior design (prototyping, design, production and project management), media (web-development and CGI) and autonomous works.

Yulia Brodskaya was born in Russia (Moscow); prior to moving to the UK in 2004 she was interested in diverse creative practices ranging from Textile Painting, Origami and Collage to more traditional Fine Art practices. Following an MA in Graphic Communication (2006, University of Hertfordshire) she continued to experiment and explore ways of bringing together all the things she likes most: typography, paper, and highly detailed hand-made craft objects. She has swiftly earned an international reputation for her innovative paper illustrations and continues to create beautifully detailed paper designs for clients all around the world.

Sydney-based paper designer Benja Harney releases images from the recent Topshop Australia Incu Window Project in papercraft. Working under the title ‘Best of British’ every piece has a distinct English flavor.

The superbly talented Rob Stanton-Cook has just created a doco about me for his Slashies project.
His series of short films focus on people who follow their passions and pursue them outside of the regular 9-5 work schedule.

Hina Aoyama

I’ve always been curious about a paper artist’s process, especially when the pattern is so small and detailed.  I was very pleased to see that Aoyama has posted a video of her process, and I was surprised to learn that her primary tool is a small pair of scissors! I know that this kind of work takes painstaking patience and precision, and the fact that Hina Aoyama  makes it look easy speaks to her amazing skill. Her work was included in the book Tangible: High Touch Visuals, which came out last year. I highly recommend this book and the rest in its series for visual inspiration, and the next time I’m on a paper cutting assignment I am definitely going to follow Aoyama’s lead and get myself a pair of those scissors!
