In the enchanting realm of paper art, the French duo Zim & Zou (previously here) have carved a niche with their vibrant, handcrafted sculptures. Their latest series, ‘Forest Folks’, is a bespoke project for the Hermès store in Dubai, bringing to life a whimsical forest inhabited by mystical beings. Each piece is meticulously crafted, with the artists drawing, cutting, and assembling by hand, transforming flat sheets of paper into three-dimensional art that exudes the poetry of ephemeral materials.
The ‘Forest Folks’ collection is a testament to Zim & Zou’s dedication to craftsmanship and their ability to evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity. Through their work, they invite us to step into a microcosmic world where nature reigns supreme, and the forest dwellers go about their lives, intertwined with the flora and fauna.
