Starting with Material and Process


This project was produced as a resesarch project. We study folding as a means of creating form. We start with material and a process. 

Bioplastic sheet + Folding








Limitations


Testing the abilities of the material first. Can it fold? What stratagies can we develop to create a crease? How does it work with light?








Development 









Why do This?


These products are effecient in their C02 use. The bioplastic is made primarily of elephant grass, which grows easily in many regions. The collection ships flat and is folded by the user, saving cargo space, money, and emmissions. They are honestly constructed.







Exhibition - Dutch Design Week 2023


Best design orginiates, or at least is bound tightly, with its manufacturing process. Folding often produces authentic and genuine form. The pieces were exhibited for Dutch Design Week at Piet Hein Eek in 2023.
