These pop up paper sculptures have been created by Peter Dahmen, a German artist and graphic designer based in Dortmund who specialises in this kind of art work. His creations pop out of what looks like an innocuous folded piece of white cardboard, and are usually incredibly detailed and complex. The designs range from architectural to floral to naturalistic and Dahmen says the pop-ups are sometimes intended as art pieces, but can also be prototypes for mass production. In these videos, Dahmen demonstrates how his paper engineering works.
