The king of the savannah comes to life in paper
It all starts with one sheet. Then another. Little by little, the gaze sharpens, the mane takes shape, the stance asserts itself. With this 3D origami lion, you’re not just crafting a decorative object—you’re bringing a powerful, almost lifelike presence to life. Placed in a living room, office, or bedroom, it instantly draws the eye with its bold lines and confident polygonal style.
This model is designed for those who enjoy taking their time, cutting with precision, and assembling methodically. Allow around 6 to 7 hours to see the lion rise, proud and majestic, in a generous format of 380 mm in height, 280 mm in width and 700 mm in depth.
A technical and rewarding model
The project is based on 27 pages bringing together 85 distinct pieces. Each element naturally finds its place, turning the assembly into an experience that is both focused and relaxing. The medium difficulty level strikes the perfect balance between challenge and enjoyment, without ever becoming discouraging.
The lion can be customized to suit your preferences by playing with paper colors to highlight the mane, muzzle, or body volumes. An ideal playground to let your creativity shine while respecting the structure of the model.
A bold statement piece for character-filled décor
Whether you’re a fan of 3D origami, passionate about contemporary décor, or simply looking for a striking hands-on project, this lion stands out as an obvious choice. It pairs perfectly with other animal creations from the origami lion papercraft 3D collection, allowing you to build a true paper wildlife gallery.
