Amsterdam Iepbrug Paper Model

Client: K_Dekker bouw & infra
Type: Corporate gift
Paper scale model of the Iepbrug swing bridge over the Noordhollandsch Kanaal in Amsterdam

An interactive swing bridge

The City of Amsterdam is improving the link between Noord and the rest of the city with a new bridge for cyclists and pedestrians over the Noordhollandsch Kanaal. Commissioned by K_Dekker bouw & infra, we designed a detailed paper scale model of the Iepbrug (bridge 2470) — a handy corporate gift in brochure form.

Not a static model sheet, but an interactive build: you fold and glue a real movable bridge with many small details. Ideal to hand out to partners, stakeholders and people involved in the project.

From Noord to the city across the canal

The Noordhollandsch Kanaal is a hard boundary between Amsterdam-Noord and the rest of the city. A good crossing for cyclists and pedestrians makes daily life and work easier. The new swing bridge shortens the route to the ferry without a long detour.

The model is interactive: the swinging span can be turned on the scale model to open the bridge for shipping.

Sustainable print, produced locally

The print work is produced in an environmentally friendly way in the Netherlands. Special biodegradable bio-inks, lower water use and wood-free FSC-certified paper reduce the environmental impact. That fits Amsterdam’s story as a healthy city.

Visual building instructions for the paper swing bridge model
The paper model includes clear step-by-step visual building instructions.

An environmentally friendly paper model that connects — just as the Iepbrug connects two parts of Amsterdam for cyclists and pedestrians.

The result

K_Dekker has a corporate gift that puts the project in people’s hands: recognisable, interactive and sustainably produced. Ideal for the opening ceremony, trade fairs or talks with municipalities and partners.

A custom paper model for infrastructure projects you want people to see — and build.
