Biography
Background
Normann Copenhagen's saved Fold Lounge Chair page identifies Ole Petter Wullum as the designer. It states that he was born in Trondheim, Norway, in 1965 and studied at the Norwegian Academy of Arts and Crafts in Oslo before establishing his own design studio.
Design approach
The page says that Wullum works across architecture, furniture and objects. His stated approach is to develop emotionally driven contemporary designs with minimalism and approachability, using a systematic and intuitive search for a balanced whole.
Notable work
Fold Lounge Chair is linked to his paper-fold starting point: a simple sheet was cut and folded to resemble a chair. The same page describes the resulting product through five folded lines, a tilted back and slightly reclining armrests.
Practice
The saved biography says that Wullum draws inspiration from everyday life and views it through a playful lens when searching for new concepts.
