Folded Chair

Exhibition at ZKM Pavilion 202

The folded Chair from my Diploma collection ”Folded Sheets“ uses a rectangular steel sheet to create a comfortable chair shell. The sheet it cut and folded to wrap around the frame and create a round shell like shape under tension. This tension makes for a comfortable round shape that slightly leans back as you press your back into it. The shell and the frame hold together by tension. No screws used, only the tension of the steel sheet.

The production process of this chair was unique. Since frame and shell are not fixed together but only hold together by tension, theassembly had its own challenges.
