Fold

December 2012

Fold is an exploration of digital fabrication, challenging the potential of collapsible objects and space solutions. 

Rather than requiring outside tools, hardware or intricate assembly, Fold sought an intuitive solution inspired by the flat planes of paper. 
Through CNC milling, the geometric structure of Fold came from effiecent material usage and a tightly designed layout.  A set of 4 units can be milled out from one 4'x8' sheet of material.

The result became a furniture piece that was not only collapsible and adaptable to shipment and storage methods but also modular, stackable and adaptable to the user.

Fold can range from stool, shelving unit, side table or even a modular space division.

 FOLD can functionally act as a shelving unit, storage, sitting surface or container; leaving users open to exploration and unique expression.
