Professional origami artist doesn’t always have to be Japanese. Sipho Mabona is a Swiss origami master who has designed origami for Japanese major companies’ promotion movies.

“Basket Shoe” He can make a shoe out of a sheet of square paper.

The video below is a promotion video for ASICS, a Japanese athletic equipment company. It is a stop-motion animation using Mabona’s origami works.

“Origami in the Pursuit of Perfection”

He also worked for Toshiba’s videos.

“Toshiba TV”

His origami works are three-dimensional and has a lot of curvy lines. They are beautiful and have organic, warm feeling.
