Scandinavian-Style Paper Sculpture Flowers - Hanna Nyman

There must be a million paper flower makers on Instagram - okay, I exaggerate... more likely hundreds. Lush bouquets of crepe paper flowers are beautiful, but it was the stark contrast of these dramatic, yet sweet cut paper arrangements by Hanna Nyman of Sweden that caught my eye.

The Scandinavian black/grey/white color palette, repetitive shapes, and whimsical animals make them fresh and appealing.

Hanna studied at Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design, and is a print designer and illustrator.

The dimensional wallpapers and paper lamps she created as graduation projects a handful of years ago swirled around the internet after being featured on Trend Hunter and Cool Hunting.

I look forward to Hanna's new designs on Instagram where she is @backtopoetry. The arrangements she posts are "sort of art for me"... which I take to mean they are her way of experimenting and relaxing.

Some of the elements are hand painted and others are upcycled from scraps of text.

I'm not even sure if Hanna glues the pieces in place or simply arranges them, but their hand cut and casual nature adds to the charm. She doesn't sell these paper vignettes, but makes posters of some and creates large-scale commissions for companies.

Two big pieces are currently on display in Uppsala, a city in Sweden.
