Birds in origamiExperience Simon Andersen's insights and fantastic designsaf Hans Dybkjær

"Birds in Origami" is aimed at beginners as well as those experienced in paper folding. Enjoy and fold the models, or immerse yourself in design philosophy that draws on the letters and models of origami artist Simon Andersen (1946-2013).

The book contains instructions for folding 45 different origami models, including 31 birds. All models are described with difficulty level, time to fold, designer and sizes of paper and model. In addition, there is a thorough explanation of symbols and techniques.

The models are divided thematically according to design ideas and thereby provide a wealth of insight into folding and designing origami.

With a foreword by Gideon Løwy, professor and brother of Simon Andersen.
