A 3D origami sloth, suspended outside of time
Hanging from its branch, the sloth seems untouched by the rush of everyday life. It observes. Motionless. Almost meditative. This 3D origami papercraft sloth model captures that very moment, where each fold becomes a calming gesture. You assemble slowly. The silhouette takes shape. And before you even realize it, a sense of calm settles in.
This project naturally fits into a nature-inspired interior. Living room, office, bedroom… it draws the eye without ever overwhelming the space. A strong decorative piece, yet soft and soothing.

Two models, two visual balances
The design comes in two distinct versions, each with its own presence. The first sloth features a more elongated posture: 500 mm high, 190 mm wide and 200 mm deep. It is made up of 12 pages for a total of 42 pieces.
The second model offers a wider, more enveloping silhouette. It measures 470 mm high, 330 mm wide and 200 mm deep. Its assembly is based on 10 pages and 38 pieces. Two interpretations of the same animal, two atmospheres, one shared invitation to slow down.
Colors, structure, and the joy of assembly
The models use multiple paper colors, mainly shades of white and brown, distributed across all pages. This subtle contrast enhances the relief and gives the sloth its full visual depth once placed on its branch.
With a medium difficulty level, this papercraft is designed for those who enjoy taking their time. Each piece fits together with precision. Adjust, glue, assemble. And piece by piece, the sloth comes to life, slowly, at your own pace.
