# Leather Origami Animals These Foldable Leather Animal Figurines Were Created for Hermes By Jen Chae | Published 2013-08-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animal-figurines References: [adrienrovero](http://adrienrovero.com/project/clikazoo/) & [adrienrovero](http://adrienrovero.com) Using nothing but leather cut-outs and snap-on buttons, Adrien Rovero creates animal figurines. Titled Clickazoo, the collection of [leather animals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-lego-briefcase) was created for Hermes. This design is something new because it uses very minimal materials. Like [origami](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saori-matsushita), it has to be folded to come to life, but due to the thick leather's texture, snap-on buttons are used to keep the folds in place. When the animals are not folded, they are flat cut-out pieces. You won't be able to make out exactly what the cut-outs will fold up to be -- this is what makes assembling them an exciting project. Because of the flexible texture of the leather, these figurines can be [folded and unfolded multiple times](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes) -- they'd be conveniently portable as they can be easily flattened for travel. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Foldable Leather:** There is an opportunity to explore innovative uses of foldable leather in various industries. - **Minimal Material Design:** There is potential for disruptive innovation by creating products with minimal materials, like these leather animal figurines. - **Portable Figurines:** Incorporating foldable and portable features into products could open up new market opportunities. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion & Luxury:** The fashion and luxury industry could explore foldable leather for unique and stylish accessories. - **Arts & Crafts:** There is potential for the arts and crafts industry to incorporate minimal material designs in their projects. - **Travel & Leisure:** The travel and leisure industry could benefit from developing foldable and portable products for convenience during travel. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Origami-Inspired Mouse Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/myair0-orimouse.md) - [Origami-Inspired Seating Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origamiinspired-design1.md) - [RFID-Blocking Origami Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-wallet.md) - [Flatpack Origami Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-computer-mouse.md) - [Origami-Inspired Ceramics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-series.md) - [Paper-Made Origami Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanging-origami-lamp.md) - [Collapsible Outdoor Furniture Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-outdoor-furniture.md) - [Animal-Shaped Luxury Beanbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ark-collection.md) - [Sliding Flatpack Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folio-chair.md)
