- 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.

- As a child, I rebuilt planes and cars I saw in movies using just folded paper and tape. Unlike store-bought toys like LEGO, paper gave me endless freedom to create any shape I imagined.
From this experience, I tried to draw inspiration—not limiting myself to what can be done in aCAD computer program but experimenting hands-on with how a sheet of paper behaves whenfolded in various ways.
To avoid using heavy industrial machines to form steel sheets, I explored different paper-folding techniques. My goal was to develop a kind of folding language I could later apply to steel, allowing me to work intuitively and efficiently.
After testing many shapes, I focused on a few that worked well and refined them further, building 1:10 scale models to better understand and improve the designs.
By using only rectangular sheets, I could reduce material waste and improve recyclability. Folded and bent shapes often result in surprisingly strong and stable objects.
