Who is behind Faltmeister?

About Us


Our folding master

Olli, also known as Ollanski, is an award-winning paper artist and illustrator with a scientific background.

In 2008, he traded molecular neurobiology for his true passion: creative work with his hands. Since then, he has been creating intricately handcrafted paper art for major international brands and magazines. As the creative mind behind our craft cards, he combines technical expertise with a keen eye for design.

Team Folding Masters

What should I give as a gift? We knew that question all too well until Olli brought a handmade card to accompany the group gift. Between cake and sparkling wine, it was clear: this could become something more!

In 2023, the idea became Faltmeister – a greeting card, experience and gift in one.

Today, Dirk takes care of the overview, Lisa of design & brand presence, Patrik of online marketing & IT, and Olli of lovingly designed cards with a wow effect.

Why Folding Master?

Classic greeting cards often end up in a drawer. We wanted to create something that lasts. A thoughtful gesture with design and meaning. Our cards are a gift, a DIY experience, and a design object all in one – designed for people who give from the heart.

Mindfulness & Creativity

A folded card from our origami team is not just a creative experience, but also a welcome break from the hectic pace of everyday life. It's a chance to step away from the screen and create with your own hands. Folding brings a moment of peace and concentration – and ultimately, a feeling of pride. That's precisely what makes our cards so special – they combine mindfulness and creativity.

Design & Technology

Thanks to ingenious folding logic, thoughtful design, and precise laser-cutting technology, we can produce our cards of the highest quality. Each design is developed by hand by our paper artist Olli and tested multiple times before going into production.
