The folded Chair from my Diploma collection ”Folded Sheets“ uses a rectangular steel
sheet to create a comfortable chair shell. The sheet it cut and folded to wrap around the
frame and create a round shell like shape under tension. This tension makes for a comfort-
able round shape that slightly leans back as you press your back into it. The shell and the
frame hold together by tension. No screws used, only the tension of the steel sheet.
This sculptural object playfully uses the act of cutting into the sheet and moving the resulting flaps over each other. A tensioned 3D Volume creates. Combining round and rectangular lines.

The shell battery lamp can be either positioned on its feet or on its side. Leaving the used
with the option of passive light or a spotlight.
The shape playfully reminds of small animals. It can be easily carried and positioned elsew-
here. Inside the carry handle sits a battery and a LED. It can be charged by a usb c port.
The bench is a blend of two steel sheet folding techniques. The top surface is expertly brake-formed, creating three distinct folds that not only ensure a comfortable seating area but also allow the rectangular seating surface to curve gracefully towards the ground. This design is further enhanced by a strategic cut and slide method, which introduces tension to the bench's feet and contributes to its rounded base.
A central crease in the seating surface adds stability and serves as a water drainage channel on both sides. The rounded shape allows the bench to rest on the ground only at its two sides, with the front and back elegantly curving upwards. This design lends the entire structure a lighter, more dynamic feel, making it both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
The coffee table visualizes the technique from “Shell” in a bigger scale. Four folds create feet for the table to stand on. The folds also create a flat tensioned plane on top.
