San Francisco-based designer Luca Iaconi-Stewart built 1:60 scale Boeing 777 airplane made out of paper manilla folders. Inspired by his high school architecture class and his love of planes, Luca Iaconi-Stewart started constructing his complicated jetliner in 2008 when he was just a junior in high school.
The idea for the project grew out of his love of airplanes—and the “massing models†he made from manila paper in a high school architecture class. Soon after he found a super-detailed diagram online of an Air India 777-300ER, Iaconi-Stewart was drawing forms in Adobe Illustrator, printing them on manila, and wielding his X-Acto knife. “There’s something rewarding about being able to replicate a part in such an unconventional medium,†he says.
