Your House is a beautiful, laser-cut book sculpture by Olafur Eliasson, a rendering of his house in 1:85 scale. As Eric Gjerde notes on Origami Tessellations, this is beautiful in and of itself, but more interesting in terms of what it portends for a future of widespread laser-cutter use.
It’s made of 454 slices, bound together in a book. Apparently it was quite a difficult process to put together, due to the complex constraints that were put upon the paper. From what I understand it was commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art in NYC.
The folks that produced the book are a laser-cutting house that specializes in paper-cutting, called Visionen in Papier (Visions in Paper). I’m actually even more interested in what they are capable of doing, and the kinds of services they provide- check out some of their other examples of their work.
