Paperholm

Paperholm is a great project I wanted to bring to your attention. It’s by Edinburgh-based Charles Young, who I know through my super talented illustrator friend Anine Bosenberg. Charles’ background is architecture, which is where he discovered his love for paper-modelling. Since August he has been making one of these miniature buildings a day, and now has a small city of them, called Paperholm. Many of the buildings even have moving components. I think the thing that I find so mesmerising about them is the combination of precision with the fantastical. I’m really looking forward to seeing how it develops. You can see more of Paperholm by visiting Charles’ site here.
