Low poly origami style 9ft high replica of UK’s oldest amateur footballer with Stannah Stairlifts

Stannah Stairlifts commissioned us to create this huge replica of Dickie Borthwick, the self-acclaimed oldest amateur footballer in the UK, to celebrate older age with its freedom to uniquely express one’s truest self.

After meeting Dickie in person we constructed a digital 3D model which we then used to create this 9ft paper replica, with internal superstructure for strength and rigidity.

We then transported the sculpture to London’s Primrose Hill for a 6 am shoot, wired to news channels by noon the same day – a very exciting and high-energy project!
