Can a lounge chair provide real comfort using only a single material?

 

Fold is a lounge chair made from two thermoformed PET felt elements that interlock to form both structure and seating surface. By eliminating additional frames, upholstery and material combinations, the design reduces the chair to its essential components.

​

The geometry of each element is shaped to provide comfort, support and stability while remaining lightweight and efficient to manufacture. Together, the two parts create a self-supporting structure that can be assembled without additional hardware.

 

Fold explores how sustainable furniture can emerge not only through recycled materials, but also through a reduction of complexity. The result is a lounge chair that combines comfort, recyclability and efficient production within a single material system.
