I’ve always loved flip books.
I’ve always been enthralled by pop-up books.
I’ve always been fascinated by paper cut-out shadow books.
So imagine my surprise & excitement when I found these incredible books online today. They’re amazing! So much detail. So much creativity. I would LOVE to see a few of these in person. They’ve got to be AMAZING!!!
As seen at Colossal online…
This fun set of paper books was created by Japanese graphic designer and architect Yusuke Oono who conceived the idea as a clever way to illustrate scenes from individual stories in three dimensions. The 40-panel books are laser cut from paper and assembled into a booklet that can be viewed page by page or fanned out as a sort of layered diorama of silhouettes. You can see dozens of additional views from each book right here.
AAAAAAAMAZING!!!!! These are absolutely beautiful!
