paper engineers,
I just had to have a look,
they are a
non-profit organization of pop-up book professionals and enthusiasts, who recently
released a collection of pop-up cards dedicated to the alphabet,
the society is called The Movable Books
Society,
and the book is titled A to Z: Marvels in Paper
Engineering, features designs from 26 paper engineers and celebrates the
Society’s 25-year history,
each card is consistent in size, measuring six by eight inches, but features strikingly different designs from a wide array of paper-focused designers,
included are the strong graphic sensibility of Kelli Anderson, Hiromi Takeda’s
delicate ode to flowers, and a supernova “S” by Isabel Uria, a Brazilian
artist who also designed the clamshell box,
in addition to each letter folio that includes a description of its artist’s inspiration, the compendium comes with a history of The Movable Book Society by Ann Montanaro Staples and an introductory essay by Larry Seidman,
A to Z is limited to 2,000 copies and is available for pre-order on the Society’s website,
and no I am not on commission, I was just intrigued when I read the phrase Paper Engineer.
