Francesco Mancini

Francesco Mancini is an Italian origami designer with a love for exploring every corner of the art form. From modular stars and polyhedra to animals, boxes, and multi-piece tessellations, his creations blend elegance with a touch of play. He often describes his process as “doodling with paper,” letting shapes and folds guide him toward new discoveries.

Known for his warmth and curiosity, Francesco enjoys sharing his work with the community and often folds in public, inviting people to see origami as something joyful and approachable. His designs frequently explore pentagonal symmetry and clever modular assemblies, transforming geometry into something both surprising and beautiful. In his hands, paper becomes a space for imagination — a place where structure and creativity meet.
