3D origami fennec: the spirit of the desert takes shape
Quiet, alert, almost elusive. The fennec slips into your interior with a surprisingly lifelike presence. This free-standing 3D origami model captures all the animal’s finesse: its large upright ears, elegant posture, and watchful stance. Each piece comes together like a patient ritual, until a warm, graphic silhouette emerges.
The model is built from 35 pieces spread across 12 pages. Three paper tones are used to add depth and emphasize volumes, creating a rich visual result without excess. Once completed, the fennec measures 380 mm in depth, 245 mm in width, and 324 mm in height. An ideal size to draw attention without overwhelming the space.
This project is designed for those who enjoy taking their time. Assembly requires precision, method, and a touch of patience. But the reward is well worth it. Piece by piece, a striking decorative object takes shape—both modern and evocative—naturally finding its place on a shelf, desk, or console table.
