The origami of Sipho Mabona


Sipho Mabona, a young artist currently residing in Switzerland, was commissioned by ad agency Nordpol+ Hamburg to design and create the origami models for this stunning five-minute video.
The corporate movie tells the story of the Japanese sports brand ASICS. It won a Grand Prix at the Eurobest, gold at the New York festival, gold at the London International Awards, silver at the Clio in Miami and two-times bronze at ADC Germany.
Sipho has a wonderful Flickr set of origami designs — worth a look — and here are just a few of my favourites.
