A standing panda that comes to life, sheet by sheet
It stands upright, calm, almost meditative. This standing panda 3D origami turns a few sheets of paper into an expressive silhouette, full of softness and character. As the assembly progresses, the volume emerges, contrasts take shape, and the animal seems to slowly step out of the bamboo forest and into your home.
This model is designed for those who enjoy taking their time—folding, adjusting, understanding the logic behind the shapes.
