Zupagrafika, the "Hispano-Polish creative design studio" of David Navarro and Martyna Sobecka, are the creators of a series of irresistible paper collections inspired by modernist and brutalist architecture.
The series features buildings in Poland, where the studio is located, as well as London and Paris, all drawn by hand. The most recent creations are BRUTAL LONDON: Construct Your Own Concrete Capital, a book released this month, and Blokoshka, four nesting blocks "inspired by the former Eastern Bloc concrete modernist estates" of Moscow, East Berlin, Warsaw and Prague. As in the others, the buyer is responsible for assembling these colorful buildings, but no glue is required – only patience.
Visit Zupagrafika for more information on the studio's folded creations.
