About Folded 01 Silla de comedor
Folded 01 es una silla de comedor. El asiento y el respaldo se forman a partir de una única lámina de aluminio en bruto, doblada a mano. La forma plegada aporta rigidez a la silla y un efecto de flexión natural que añade confort. La lámina de aluminio se monta sobre una estructura de acero de color, que aporta un sutil detalle cromático. El diseño se inspiró en el plegado de una hoja de papel cuadrada, que adquiere rigidez una vez doblada. La silla mide 450 mm de ancho, 500 mm de profundidad y 800 mm de altura. El objetivo fue regresar a la esencia del objeto con una apariencia mínima.
