PAPERTROPHY interior paper-design project

Hundreds of polygons fit perfectly inside each other and build a sturdy construction using nothing more then paper and glue

Inspired by the classic animal trophies I set out to find a timeless design you love to look at every day.

The Papertrophy animals feature a minimalistic cubic design. It reflects simplicity while offering an astonishing look through shadows and light on the trophies. Their bright and vibrant colours create depth and radiate an extravagant elegance.

Papertrophy

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. It reflects simplicity while offering an astonishing look through shadows and light on the trophies. Their bright and vibrant colours create depth and radiate an extravagant elegance.

Enjoying animals in a modern approach without hurting any of earth beuatiful creations. That is what Papertrophy is all about:

Don't shoot them - Glue them!

Building Quality

Hundreds of polygons fit perfectly inside each other and build a sturdy construction using nothing more then paper and glue. It's astonishing how solid the final product is if you see the single paper elements used to build it.

We use only heavy, high quality papers of at least 220g/m2 (as a reference: your regular printer paper is 80g/m2), handpicked from German paper manufactories. All papers are eco friendly and carry the FSC seal.

Easy to build

Building Papertrophies is easy. It just takes some time and regular paper glue.
The final product arrives not only pre-cut, but with pre-creased folding patterns at your doorstep. That makes folding super easy. You don't even need complicated and long instructions: Simply glue the numbered pieces together and the final product will magically appear piece by piece in your hand.

Once all flaps are glued together you see the initial paper-parts transforming into a three-dimensional artwork ready to be hung on the wall and displayed.

Production

Papertrophys are designed in Berlin, Germany. Machine-cut and pre-fold from high quality eco-friendly paper for precision and quality by local printers.
Every papercraft is checked manually to ensure that only perfectly cut and pre- folded models receive the official Papertrophy seal.

Jury Commentary
The whole panel felt this was a very strong project. Aesthetically it was incredibly strong and we all loved the BIG paper sculptural potential of this system.
We also appreciated the depiction of endangered and threatened animals and the tag line of ‘don’t shoot them glue them’ was great!
