Papercraft Totem Poles

The Designers at INK Studio Crafted a Symbolically Spiritual Sculpture

Sitting at a huge table covered in construction paper cutouts may remind you of arts and crafts time at preschool but when the scenario happens with the designers from INK Studio, a whole new level of craftiness is reached.

The impressive outcome of radically creative minds working towards a collective project results in the giant totem pole sculpture that is made entirely out of piece of colored paper. Taking flat, 2D materials and turning them into 3D wonders is akin to taking imaginative and spiritual symbolism and turning it into a tangible item that embodies personal character traits.

While the entire paper totem pole works perfectly in sync with itself, the various segments demonstrate the variety of vision and personality in the INK Studio team.
