Folded Sheets
Eine Kollektion von Möbeln aus gefaltetem Stahlblech, schwarzgebrannt mit Leinöl.
Description
Folded Sheets applies the principles of paper folding to sheet steel. Through precise cuts and folds, furniture and lighting objects are created from a single rectangular sheet. The folds ensure that the flat sheet retains its stiffness and load-bearing capacity, allowing the objects to carry weight without any additional reinforcements.
The surface is treated using a traditional blackening method in which linseed oil is baked in. This protects the steel from corrosion and gives it a warm, deep dark colour with subtle tonal nuances.
The project focuses on resource-efficient production, works without material waste, and uses simple tools and machines. It demonstrates how three-dimensional objects can be created from industrial flat material on a small scale.
