  • 2 years ago
Kyla McCallum’s paper Lexus UX 300e model is mind-bogglingly detailed. Just look at the tiny perforations in the leather seats, the tiny clock on the dashboard and the intricacy of the spindle grille.
But why did we decide to make a miniature version of our all-electric Lexus UX 300e out of paper? To qualify as a Takumi, or master craftsperson, Lexus engineers must be able to demonstrate their dexterity by folding an origami cat. Easy, you might think, until you realise that they must fold it with their non-dominant hand, and in under 90 seconds.
