I think it’s a wonderful thing when different realms can strike such a beautiful balance
P.S.
This (above) is the beautiful Japanese Tea House pop-up card, that I mentioned I bought earlier. It is something Elod has generously created to help raise money for Japan. In particular, I love playing about with reverse folds or the pleats that they build into. Every CP molecule that pops into my head is distilled into the concertina configuration.
Um, science is not my strong point. Thanks Benj!) It was not only beautiful and affordable art, it also contributed to a great cause (read all about it at the end of this post). The level of detail he places into each piece is truly amazing.

Elod Beregszaszi is no doubt one of the true master paper craftsmen of our time.
It is the noblest material of them all! He creates the most incredible paper sculptures, with creases in all the right places. In the beginning I was intending to launch a range of pop-up cards, but that never really got off the ground as my real interest lay in more sculptural development. And what type of paper do you generally use?
What’s there not to love (apart from the annoying and frequent paper-cuts)?
It has both elastic and rigid qualities which are so crucial to kinetic modeling, it’s tactile, cheap, and so rewarding. If you would like to give origamic architecture a go (in reference to the answer below), check out this book by Koichi Takahashi, a leading paper artist from Japan. The Origamic Architecture and Kineticard series are signed and emboss stamped.
My hope is to provide an opportunity for anyone around the world to collect and enjoy examples of this paper art form at an affordable price.
All profits are reinvested in making more paper art, and developing my website www.popupology.co.uk where you can find templates, videos and lots more besides to get you started with your own folding projects!
Thank you for your support!

This series is the paper holy grail for me.Elod truly is a paper folding/collapsing magician. I leave this genre to the really ‘clever’ computational origamists like Erik Demaine, who is making some amazing discoveries.
Ultimately numbers and shapes are both understood through the patterns that they produce, and my method takes the aesthetics of shape and volume as a starting point, which I then ‘resolve’ into a mechanically workable template.
What do you love about paper?
I hardly ever succeed but the journey takes me to interesting places. Lucky me when he said he was more than happy to answer my questions.
I hope you enjoy reading all about Elod’s paper world. He cuts, folds, embosses and sculpts out of a material most people don’t think twice about. So, you can now buy your very own hand-folded and signed piece of origamic architecture by none other than Elod himself.
