Friends
From time to time this website will feature work by other paper engineers.
The first entry on this page is from my new friends in India, award winning book designers, UMS Design Studio. Headed by designer Ulhas Moses, UMS first came to my notice when they contacted me for advice on a pop-up wedding card they had envisioned. With a few words of encouragement, they went on to produce the stunning gold piece seen below.
Ulhas told me, “The card is for a traditional Indian Hindu wedding and the stepped structure is called the ‘Agnikund’ around which the couple take seven rounds reciting the holy vows. On the top is the burning fire. The pop-up is made with golden paper with gold foil stamping and gold printing. The flame has gold sheet foil applied to it to give it luster.” The card was designed by both Siddharth Kulkarni and Ulhas.
Next they are working on a new project. Below, you can see some early white dummies of the boat and an oasis. UMS does exceptionally beautiful work, utilizing special printing techniques and incredible typography. See more at www.umsdesign.com
