I recently spotted the jaw-droppingly beautiful work of set designer and stylist, Sabrina Transiskus, at Upon a Fold, and I’m completely blown away by her amazing work, which includes intricate paper sculpture and origami pieces for clients such as Chanel, Audi, and Moët Hennessy. And I think the origami artists mentioned in the upcoming post would be intrigued by the purple paper hat featured in the Upon a Fold post. It’s incredible!
