{{:bildschirmfoto_2025-07-22_um_10.36.42.png?nolink&600|}} Our inspiration for the furniture folder came from an unexpected, \\ almost trivial everyday object: the laundry folder.\\ **This simple plastic tool, often found in infomercials or organizing \\ enthusiast’s homes, is designed for one very specific task to \\ fold a T-shirt into a perfectly rectangular shape in just a few swift\\ movements. It’s a device that operates somewhere between precision \\ and absurdity. After all, do we really need a tool to fold \\ clothes? Probably not. But there’s something undeniably satisfying \\ about the choreography of its hinged panels and the consistent \\ outcome it produces: fabric transformed into form, quickly and effortlessly.\\ ** This choreography, this quiet mechanical dance of folding, became \\ the starting point for our own tool.\\ **We took this idea, a folding frame that allows you to bring soft \\ material into structured shape and applied it to an entirely \\ different context: aluminum sheets, used to create furniture objects \\ such as stools, trays, or sculptural containers. Just like with \\ the laundry folder, the user places a sheet of material onto the surface \\ of our folding tool. A few precise movements follow: hinges are \\ closed, edges are brought up, angles are locked in. What begins as \\ a flat plane is transformed into a spatial object.\\** What intrigued us most was not just the function of the original folder, \\ but its logic: A frame that acts as a guide. A set of predefined \\ movements. A tool that enables shape through repetition and gesture.\\ Our "furniture folder" translates this logic into a new material language.\\ Instead of cotton, we fold metal. Instead of tidying up, we build.\\ **The tool itself becomes a silent partner in the act of making rigid, yet \\ flexible enough to adapt. It's a modular hinge-based frame that allows \\ for different folding geometries and compositions. The result is not a mass-\\ produced piece of furniture, but a crafted object—shaped by hand, guided \\ by structure, and held together by the memory of a fold.\\ ** {{:bildschirmfoto_2025-07-20_um_20.01.22.png?nolink&600|}} {{:bildschirmfoto_2025-07-20_um_20.01.30.png?600|}} {{:bildschirmfoto_2025-07-20_um_20.01.39.png?600|}} {{:bildschirmfoto_2025-07-20_um_20.01.48.png?600|}} {{:bildschirmfoto_2025-07-20_um_21.27.59.png?nolink&600|}} {{:photo-2025-07-20-21-34-43.jpg?direct&600 |}}{{:0a993c81-723a-4c65-a960-70921944530b.jpg?direct&600 |}}{{:photo-2025-07-20-21-34-43_2.jpg?nolink&600 |}}{{:photo-2025-07-20-21-34-48_2.jpg?nolink&600 |}}{{:photo-2025-07-20-21-35-15_2.jpg?nolink&600 |}}
