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.\\
