About Folded 01 Cadira de menjador

Folded 01 és una cadira de menjador. El seient i el respatller estan formats a partir d'una única làmina d'alumini en brut, doblegada a mà. La forma plegada aporta rigidesa a la cadira i un efecte de flexió natural que afegeix comoditat. La làmina d'alumini es munta sobre una estructura d'acer de color, que aporta un subtil detall cromàtic. El disseny es va inspirar en el plegat d'un full de paper quadrat, que esdevé rígid un cop plegat. La cadira fa 450 mm d'amplada, 500 mm de profunditat i 800 mm d'alçada. L'objectiu era tornar a l'essència de l'objecte amb una aparença mínima.
