About Fold بينچ

فولڊ هڪ عوامي بينچ آهي، جيڪا ٽيبل جي طور تي پڻ ڪم ڏئي ٿي. ھي ڊزائين پلائيووڊ جي ھڪ ٽڪري مان ٺھيل آھي، جنھن کي ھڪ زاويي تي پاڻ تي ورائي موڙيو ويو آھي. ھي موڙ ھڪ ٻي سطح پيدا ڪري ٿو، جيڪا ڪنھن به اضافي حصي يا ملحقات کان سواءِ ٽيبل جي طور تي استعمال ٿي سگھي ٿي. ھي شڪل عوامي جڳھين ۾ استعمال لاءِ سادي ۽ مضبوط رھي ٿي. پلائيووڊ کي وِڦ (steam) ڏئي، هڪ خاص طور تي ٺاهيل سانچي ۾ شڪل ڏني وئي آهي، ۽ ان سان گڏ برونز استعمال ڪيو ويو آهي. مجموعي ماپون 1480 ملي ميٽر ڊگھائي، 1010 ملي ميٽر ويڪر ۽ 730 ملي ميٽر اوچائي آهن.

Unique Properties
What if a bench is also a table?
Fold is an interpretation to the question above, to fulfil multiple functions yet retain a simplistic and sturdy form to be used in the public. This piece of furniture is not much more than a piece of plywood folded back on itself at an angle. Yet, this simple manipulation creates another surface that can be used as a table, without sacrificing its unanimous form with extensions or appendages.
Dimensions & Packaging
Overall dimensions: 1480(L) x 1010(W) x 730(H)mm

plywood, bending, bench, curvature
Production Technology
Plywood and Bronze
Steam the plywood and put into a custom build mold for bending
Design Challenge
The most difficult part is bending the plywood in a specific angle which is also comfortable for the purpose of sitting with a table. and the placement of the legs are the second challenge to maintain the sturdiness while to balance with the proportions and ratio with the plywood.
Inspiration
Public bench design always strives for functionality but neglected the aesthetics, and also mostly only caters for the purpose of sitting. What if you are holding a coffee or you are looking for a place to sit down with your book or laptop? You don’t have a choice but to go to the café or restaurants. It’s time to think out of the box and create a piece of furniture that aesthetically addresses the convenience and flexibility of how a public bench can do for the people.
Project Duration
The project staretd in early 2019 and completed in production in late 2019.
