About Folded 01 Cadièra de taula

Folded 01 es una cadièra de taula. Lo sèti e lo respatlièr son formats a partir d'una sola fuèlha d'alumini brut, plegada a la man. La forma plegada dona a la cadièra sa rigiditat e un efècte de flexion natural qu'apòrta de confòrt. La fuèlha d'alumini es montada sus un quadre d'acièr colorat, que provesís un detalh subtil de color. Lo disseny s'inspirèt del plegatge d'una nòta de papièr carrada, que ven rigida un còp plegada. La cadièra mesura 450 mm de largor, 500 mm de prigondor e 800 mm de nautor. L'objectiu èra de tornar a l'esséncia de l'objècte amb un aspècte minimal.
