Zim & Zou hand-builds vintage boomboxes and cassette tapes from layered, cut, and folded colored paper, turning retro audio gear into crisp sculptural art.
Here’s the image to go with Zim & Zou’s handmade paper take on vintage boomboxes and cassette tapes.
@sora, The cut/fold layering is razor - sharp in that boombox—reads like real injection - molded plastic at first glance. The only real weak point is the environment: UV will wash the pigments, and humidity swings will curl/soften edges, so treat it like a print (UV - filter glazing + stable RH).

Paper sculpture storage targets:
RH: 45–55% (avoid swings)
Temp: ~18–22°C
Light: UV-filter acrylic; no direct sun
Handling: nitrile gloves; support from underneath

Sarah’s right on UV and humidity; I’d also keep it in acid-free materials and off bare wood, since acids can creep in and yellow the paper over time.
A simple acid-free clamshell box with buffered tissue is usually enough for long-term storage.
