Massive. Calm at first glance. Irresistible once on display. This 3D papercraft hippopotamus head makes a bold statement on your wall, like a subtle nod to the African savanna. You start by folding, patiently assembling… and little by little, the shape comes to life. A project that draws attention both during the build and long after it’s been mounted.

With its strong, defined volumes, this wall sculpture instantly transforms a room. Living room, office, curious child’s bedroom, or creative studio—it fits anywhere you enjoy objects that tell a story. Fans of 3D origami will appreciate the precision of the shapes, while hands-on makers will enjoy every step of the process.

From a technical standpoint, the finished model is generously sized: 450 mm high, 260 mm wide, and 440 mm deep. The structure is made up of 54 pieces to assemble. Two versions of the pattern are included: 13 pages in A3 or 25 pages in A4. The design itself is strictly identical—only the page layout changes to suit your printing preferences.

The hippopotamus head is designed to be built using a single paper color, leaving plenty of room for creative finishes: natural tones, bold graphic contrast, or a more daring look depending on your décor. The final mood is entirely up to you.
