Story
Paper fold
The design idea began with a simple piece of paper cut and folded to resemble a chair. This first sketch made the eventual chair form immediately legible.
Five lines
Fold reduces the chair concept to five simple folded lines. Its tilted back and armrests recline slightly with bodily movement, creating the dynamic and sculptural expression described by the designer. The page connects the angles with a friendly, welcoming gesture toward the user.
