Born in Finland, the Amsterdam-based illustrator creates a vivid sculptural piece that is both visually stunning and sustainable in its design concept.

The artist works alongside Swedish architect Gert Wingardh to create the [sculptural space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-time) that is constructed from 1120 A4-size paper stacks. The suspended sheets boast a wide spectrum of color hues and are manipulated to give off a multi-dimensional and seemingly holographic effect.

Inspired by famed ceiling frescoes and stained glass church domes, the design duo interpret a timeless architectural inspiration in a modern way. The Kustaa Saksi Paper Installation for Stockholm's Furniture and Light Fair steals the spotlight at the renowned design event creating a [sensory experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/time-signature) for its visitors.
