Engineer at heart, I spent two years with some of Europe's greatest creative minds to design FOLDORI's very first experience: Sunrise Dreams.
As a small team of multi-faceted specialists, we gathered to deliver this world's first concept entirely from scratch.
It all started with the story. A 3.000-word original short story narrating The Encounter between three characters or 'heroes'. After we wrote it, it was evident that the characters and their captured moment deserved more than paper. It deserved paper on a whole new level.
In the beginning of 2025, we brought in more people in to take on a challenge: bringing a storyline to life with three-dimensional paper.
This is when the fictional Companions were born. To guide you through a completely new approach to visual storytelling, DIY and advanced paper engineering, we created a team of maker guides, each expert in their field: Mary is your main support, the first voice you hear and the one who answers your questions. Miraki explains the materials and engineering behind every set. Maïa curates the color and finish of every collection. Nicola walks you through assembly and shares the craft's history. They are not characters in the story; they are your guides as you build it, on your own or through our FOLDORI Studio open initiative.
Today, we're proud to have reinvented the art form of Paper DIY and to package it as a premium experience for art enthusiasts and fiction lovers all across Europe.
We're a bunch of talented, humble creatives who can't wait to see the magic you bring into your own world.

Our European founders created FOLDORI with a concern: as consumers we are rapidly losing our say on what is, looks, or feels good.
They created a set of tools, resources, and products designed to position consumers at the center of interaction. Today we keep developing new ways to co-create together, guiding you in the self-assembly of paper giftware made in Europe: no tools, no glue. We precisely engineer paper compositions for you to personalise with your wildest inspirations.
100% original stories.
This is our creative universe: we want to lead by example and show you that if we, a team of everyday introverts with a pen, can own our craftーyou can too.
Multi-layered paper sets.
Spend quality time assembling our premium FOLDORI sets: they've been carefully engineered as a 40-minute, mindful experience.
Come for the art, stay for the fiction.
Personalise your sets up to 8 times their original value with narrative extensions. Mix & match to your own preference.
Paper is a material of choice: sustainable at heart, we adopt its creative nature where cutting, folding, and writing stories is an art. We work with so much care and attention to detail so you can be part of the process and shine on gifting day, proud to own your craft.
We are doing our part towards a more self-reliant, abundant and gifted Europe with consumers who truly own their narrative. That’s what drives us to keep wowing you, your craft, and your loved ones.
