In 2015, Lexus UK, commissioned 2 companies to build a full-scale replica, of a Lexus IS 300 Sedan, built entirely out of the corrugated Cardboard.
1,700 individually shaped cardboard sheets were used, to create a fully functional replica of the IS saloon model.
Inspired by origami, the full-size sculpture was produced as a celebration of the human craftsmanship behind each Lexus car.
London-based companies LaserCut Works and Scales and Models were commissioned to complete the project, which took three months in total to finish.
The studios were provided with a 3D model of the existing IS saloon, which they then divided into principal parts, including the main body, dashboard, seats and wheels.
These sections were digitally rendered as 10-millimetre slices, then laser cut from the cardboard and given individual reference numbers to ensure the car was assembled in the correct sequence.
An electric motor used to power the vehicle is mounted on a steel and aluminium frame is housed within the model. The car also features a fully fitted interior, functioning doors, headlights and rolling wheels.
