-Some designs are said to have started with a clean sheet of paper, but here is one that started with many such sheets: a full-size Nissan Juke model that is comprised entirely of folded pieces of paper, created by an origami artist in Britain.
The total count for pieces of paper folded for the project was more than 2000, an endeavor that took British paper artist Owen Gildersleeve more than 200 hours. The project’s unveiling coincides with World Origami Days, which as you may know, are October 24 through November 11. It was done to commemorate the Juke’s fifth anniversary in the U.K., where the car is built at Nissan’s Sunderland plant.

Many cars, particularly from the 1970s, sprung from the “folded-paper school of design”—the original Volkswagen Golf and Scirocco among them. But that hardly describes the Juke, which must have made Mr. Gildersleeve’s job all the more difficult. The challenge for next time: Make it drivable, like the Lexus IS built out of cardboard.
