Florigami: Wonderful, Intricate Origami Animals That Live In Glass Bell Jars

Based in Paris, Floriane Touitou has a PhD in Physics, but came to realise that her passion lines in origami and creating art with her hands—this epiphany led her to start Florigami, an online store where she sells handcrafted origami animals that are housed in glass bell jars.

These origami creatures that “live under glass” are inspired by “cabinets of curiosities” that came before modern museums—they are the artist’s way of “highlighting the wonders of nature, while replacing the morbidity of dead animals with paper creatures”.
