materials: PET, fabric,
heat resistant glue, resistancewire, heat resistant tape
size: from 92 cm x 92 cm folded into 40 cm x 40 cm x 45 cm
This is a first in
a series of folded furniture. The general idea is to lay out a
foldingpattern of resistancewire on a thermoplastic sheet. The wire can
be heated by
connecting it to your wallsocket. The current heats the wire to 120 degrees
Celsius, just
enough to heat the plastic and make it soft. After 5 minutes the lines
are warm enough, fold
the stool in shape and unplug, the plastic cools down and hardens, the
stool is finished.
Furniture can be delivered
in flat sheets, which is very efficient for storage and transport,
and shaped on location when it is needed. The technique is also prepared
for use in
prefab-exhibitiondesign.

By removing the excess
