Book Origami: The Art of Folding
inspiration, we love
The artist Isaac Salazar connects two of our biggest passions – pretty books and typography – to marvellous art objects.
Due to folded book pages very surprising objects develop, which makes our hearts beat faster at brandbook.
A quote about his own work: “I see my work as a way to display a meaningful piece of art onto a book that would otherwise sit on a shelf and collect dust; it’s also my way of recycling a book that might otherwise end up in a landfill. The words or symbols I use are drawn from anything that invokes inspiration or encouragement, such as “Read”, “Dream” and the Recycle symbol. If my work also makes people look at a book and even art in a new light then the piece has done its job.”
