A chimpanzee mask that comes to life, sheet after sheet
It all starts with a silhouette. Then, very quickly, the features begin to take shape. This chimpanzee mask in 3D origami draws you into an intense, almost meditative hands-on experience. You cut, you fold, you assemble… and suddenly, the chimpanzee’s gaze appears. Expressive. Alive. Impossible to ignore.
With its bold volumes and powerful muzzle, this model plays with contrast and relief. It naturally finds its place in a striking wall display or at the heart of a collection of paper masks with a strong visual identity.
Model dimensions and structure
Once assembled, the mask has an impressive presence: 320 mm in height, 380 mm in width and 430 mm in depth. A true sculptural head, designed to catch the eye and reveal every facet of the face.
The template is made up of 16 pages for a total of 50 pieces. Assembly requires method and precision, but remains accessible to those who enjoy taking their time and watching the form emerge step by step.
Color balance and final finish
The model relies on a subtle balance of tones to enhance realism. It uses 6 pages of light brown paper for the main areas of the face, complemented by 10 pages in dark brown that emphasize shadows, contours and the depth of the gaze. This contrast gives the finished mask its full visual impact.
A truly creative experience
Rated at a Medium difficulty level, this chimpanzee mask is designed for those who enjoy projects with substance. Every step matters, every fold has its role. And at the end of the journey, the satisfaction is undeniable. A powerful object, shaped by your own hands, that never goes unnoticed.
