Fold is named both for the signature folded sheet metal frame and also the intervention to the design of Friso Kramer & Wim Reitveld.
The metal frame was the starting point for the inspiration of this design; functional, utilitarian and unashamedly rooted in manufacturing methods. Therefore the addition of a folding mechanism felt relevant to the functional nature of the chair, but also to the theme of designing the world that you want.
The function of a folding chair speaks to entertaining more guests than would usually be expected or that could be catered to by the immediate furniture, and therefore this chair symbolises and caters to a return to spontaneity, interaction and connection that has been missed in recent years.
