| + | 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, | ||
| + | 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 " | ||
| + | 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.\\ | ||
