Pepastar, A Construction Set for Playful Minds

Hooking-in the four different Pepastar elements with each other, users become curious about the possibilities that lie at their hands. Led by instinct, one gets keen to experiment with these flexible construction pieces which revolve freely around their joints. Everything seems possible and nothing is forbidden.

Applying also other creative techniques like folding, twisting, tearing, cutting or painting, the masterpiece transforms itself constantly. Thus, the paper engineer often experiences moments of surprise, and sometimes an alternative goal seems to be even more appealing.

Pepastar creates a mesmerising flow of creation: Building instructions are superfluous when the Pepastars turn into fantasy-fuelled sculptures, lively creatures and custom-made costumes.
