A hippopotamus that comes to life, fold by fold
Imagine the pleasure of seeing a bold, graphic silhouette emerge in your hands. This 3D papercraft hippopotamus is built calmly, piece by piece, until it becomes a strong and decorative presence. The low poly style plays with angles and light, turning paper into a true contemporary sculpture.
A decorative piece inspired by the animal world
Placed on a shelf, desk, or sideboard, this model blends naturally into a modern interior. It also pairs perfectly with other creations from the 3D papercraft sea animal origami collection, creating a graphic and original display.
Smooth, accessible, and rewarding assembly
Designed to be easy to assemble, this model mainly requires patience and a bit of precision. Allow around 4 to 5 hours to complete the build. The result? A stable, detailed sculpture that is surprisingly expressive.

Beautiful design, I love it, I highly recommend it.
I made a huge orange hippopotamus (1.50 m * 0.95 m) for a project - the result is great!

Very easy to assemble and it’s magnificent
