About to fold


Friday, 20th August, 2010.

While the platform had found a rather satisfying resolution playing out the tension between common elements and ennobling surfaces, the suspended envelope proved to be much less ‘accessible’ to our design effort. Rather than thinking and sketching, it was the active engagement of our hands creating various folding patters that opened up a fresh approach.

We aim to condense structure and surface into the same element. Initially envisioned as being made from felt as well with the support of a plywood frame, folded industrial-grade cardboard suspended from a continuous rail now seems another viable option. Attaching the monitor for screening the documentary to the top rail will rely on custom-made ‘suspenders.’
