Pop up books aren’t just for kids these days – Visionaire 55: Surprise is the latest issue of the high-concept fashion quarterly, and this one pushes the limits of paper with pop-up books created by the likes of Steven Meisel, Mario Testino, Steven Klein and Gareth Pugh, to name a few.

Executed by renowned paper engineer Bruce Foster, the issue features moveable images, three-dimensional scenes and surprise reveals.  The 12 hardcover pop-up books, boxed together, are housed in a royal purple cloth-covered case with a magnetized closure and an engraved metal plaque.

This innovative work of art is limited to 4000 numbered copies worldwide.  Editions 69, 70 and 71 are available now at Hirshleifers ETC.  Pick up a copy as a great coffee table addition for the art lover in your life.
