The car was built in collaboration with model maker and Owen's long-term collaborator Thomas Forsyth. In a nod to Nissan’s Japanese heritage and inspired by the very first steps of car design – getting ideas onto paper – Owen and Thomas hand built the intricate replica model from paper to the exact dimensions of the Juke. They used digital CAD drawings to devise a rigid internal framework on which the paper shell was then built.

As a celebration piece, it draws on so many influences, such as the origami focus inspired by Nissan’s Japanese roots. Using so many individual pieces of paper to create the overall structure also represents the thousands of people who helped bring the Nissan Juke into reality and the thousands who continue to do so right here in the UK.

Overall, the paper model took over 200 hours to build and the paper shell itself was formed of around 2,000 separate folded polygons.
