360° Book

Architect Yusuke Oono is the creator of this beautiful booklet. When left closed, the appears to be a small book, but flipping through the pages reveals a stunning assortment of carvings that together produces a 360° diorama. 

Oono managed to recreate the tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves through this method of these tiny carvings. He states, "I like finding new ways to express dimension, and it occurred to me to create this palm-sized book that opens out to form a 3D world." In order to make the details of this booklet, Yusuke Oono utilized a laser cutter. This project was a top winner in a Fab Cafe laser cutter design contest--and it deserves it!

I'm absolutely blown away by the detail that each page possesses, especially since the work itself is so small. He was able to capture the likenesses of the characters from the Disney film version of the story perfectly. I had never heard much of laser design before--but after seeing this, I am definitely going to do more research into it.
