How Santa Really Works: Fabulous Pop-Up Edition

BestPopupBooks — Sun, 17 Dec 2017 23:08:35 +0000

Where does Santa live? How does he know what you want for Christmas and where do all the toys come from? How Santa Really Works not only gives answers to these questions, it also takes the reader on a journey trough the World of Santa Claus and shares all the secrets you always wanted to know. Snowy landscapes, the Letters Department, Santa’s workshop, lots of Elves and a spectacular Christmas party for Santa’s workers, it’s all in this fabulous pop-up edition of How Santa Really Works.

“Have you ever wondered how Santa knows exactly what you want for Christmas?”

This beautiful Christmas pop-up book already is a collectable classic. How Santa Really Works is out of print for a while and we would love to see it back in the market one day. This pop-up edition was published back in 2010 by Simon & Schuster and as we speak last copies are getting sold. This makes it a lot more difficult to get one for a fair price but it’s all worth it, especially for a pop-up book collector.

Artwork

The illustrations by Alan Snow literally jump of every page together with the pop-ups. The rich and colorful artwork is a joy to look at. And just like the original, this book also contains a lot of humor and jokes what makes it a fun read. The amount of details is stunning and there’s so much going on, you just can’t get your eyes of it. Every single piece of paper in this book is printed on both sides what makes the pop-up spreads in this book even more interesting to look at from different angles. Alan Snow did a great job merging and expanding the orignal artwork into three dimensional pop-up scenes. It really works!

Storytelling

We don’t know which came first; the artwork or the story? We can be sure about one thing, it all fits together perfectly. The text makes it more fun to study the illustrations and vice versa. Alan Snow’s vision of Santa’s World is a amusing and a fun read, even for adults. The story of How Santa Really Works brings everyone in the mood for Christmas. Our favorite is the Letters Department spread. It’s the most simple pop-up spread in this book but the handwritten letters steal your heart right away. The most adorable stories are hidden behind tiny lift-the-flap postcards who are addressed to Santa Claus.

Paper engineering

The paper engineering by Maggie Bateson is solid, straight forward and almost feels like it’s inspired on the work of classic Paper Engineers like Vojtěch Kubašta. There even are some movable parts what also makes it more fun and interactive. Every pop-up spread is sturdy and pops-in and out with ease. The strong paper that is used for the pop-ups also contributes to the total strength of the pop-ups. All together this pop-up book really is “kid proof” and pop-ups won’t tear that easy.

Peter Dahmen’s Iggesund Snowflake

BestPopupBooks — Thu, 15 Dec 2016 16:33:20 +0000

Each snowflakes gets its unqiue form by the elements of chance, temperature and the route from the cloud to the ground. Physicist and snow researcher Ukichiro Nakaya gave snowflakes the more poetic name of “Letters from the sky” because like a letter, every snowflake is unique.

Peter Dahmen is this year’s designer of the Iggesund Paperboard Christmas greeting card. He visited the Swedish town on a snowy day in November to get inspiration for his design. Peter Dahmen, who is known for his brilliant paper engineering and mathematical pop-up designs, decided to make a unique Christmas decoration instead of a pop-up card. Not just a unique design, but also a design that would make every card unique, like real snowflakes…

44.000 unique snowflakes

This snowflake card, that also functions as a decoration, is formed by a hexagonal frame of seven different snowflakes and a folded base plate of metallic cardboard. The laser cut hexagonal frame is very detailed and folds out with ease. Both sides of the snowflakes are printed with cyan and blue colors. One side contains glossy diamonds and the other metallic details that give every snowflake its unique identity. By folding all seven snowflakes around the base plate, you can create up to 44.000 unique snowflakes. The overlapping cut-outs create a different snowflakes every time you use a different order or combination. And that’s not all. This decoration can be folded into the “standing position” to display it wherever you want or you can attach a ribbon to hang it up.

Peter Dahmen about this project:

“When I received the proposal from Iggesund, to create this year’s greeting card, I was very happy – but at the same time, I felt that this was going to be a very challenging project, because I knew the wonderful designs that other designers had created for Iggesund in the years before. For this project I could not create a pop-up card, because Iggesund asked me to design something that can be assembled very quick – rather within seconds than minutes. So I came up wit the idea of a foldable decoration. I knew from the start, that this design would provide many different variations. I estimated, that there would be some dozen combinations possible. But when I started to calculate the actual number of variations, I was very surprised to see that you can create thousands of different images of snowflakes. 44716, to be exact.”

This Christmas and winter decoration by Peter Dahmen is more then just a Christmas Card. It’s also a gift that lets you puzzle and discover the most beautiful patterns and shapes. It’s a kaleidoscope of paper and colors that is easy to build, even though it looks a bit complicated.
