Moynat spent a century and a half building trunks meant to survive ocean crossings and mountain roads without a scratch. For three weeks in Beijing, its monogram is made of paper instead.
The [installation runs through September 19th](https://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-scoops/moynat-skp-beijing-pop-up-jojo-folded-paper-garden-1239174824/) in the mall's first-floor atrium — a walk-through room built entirely from folded paper, no trunk in sight.
The artist, who works under the name Jojo, was born in Qingdao and trained in oil painting before turning to paper and sculpture. Moynat's monogram is the first brand mark she's folded into that practice, distorted into the faintly pixelated pattern that happens when something built for one material gets translated into another.
The object her paper distorts was built to be nearly indestructible. [Moynat patented a waterproofing process in 1854](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moynat) and spent the following century fitting trunks to the exact contours of a client's car; each one was engineered, commission by commission, to outlive whoever ordered it.
A dark grey version of the house's M canvas, made only for this pop-up, runs through totes, travel bags, and a scatter of small leather goods laid out like specimens inside Jojo's graphic garden of folds.
On September 20th the room comes down. The trunks it was built around were never meant to.
