Asics Commercial - Mabona Origami


Once upon a time there was an origami artist from Switzerland (!) who became even famous in the land of the origing of the paper-folding-art. Sipho Mabona's origami covers a great range of different styles from very intricate representational designs to abstract geometrical shapes. The impeccable folding and his great sense for lines and shapes distinguishes Mabona's work of art.

Sipho has exhibited his work in galleries in Tokyo and Vancouver, was the invited guest at Japan Origami Academic Society (JOAS) Convention 2008 and was the first foreigner whose model graced the cover of the JOAS Convention book.
