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.
The folded Chair from my Diploma collection ”Folded Sheets“ uses a rectangular steel
sheet to create a comfortable chair shell. The sheet is cut and folded to wrap around the
frame and create a round "shell" shape that is 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.

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 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.
Innenseite und Inhalt des Flyers, der begleitend zur Ausstellung ausgelegt wurde. Der Flyer beinhaltet eine Kurzbeschreibung zur Ausstellung, Fußnoten zu unterschiedlichen wissenschaftlichen Texten, die Teil meiner Recherche waren. Des Weiteren werden fragmentarisch Teile der Recherche abgebildet: ein exemplarischer Grundriss einer Gefängniszelle mit Möblierung und Beschriftung der Materialien; Zitate aus der Zeitschrift "Haftleben", die von Frauen der JVA Chemnitz publiziert wird; Vokabular aus dem Gefängniskontext; eine Liste, die zeigt welche Gegenstände auf einer Zelle erlaubt bzw. verboten sind; die Danksagung.

Inside and contents of the flyer that accompanied the exhibition. The flyer contains a brief description of the exhibition, footnotes to various texts that were part of my research. Furthermore, fragmentary parts of the research are shown: an exemplary floor plan of a prison cell with furniture and labeling of the materials; quotations from the magazine "Haftleben" (prison life), which is published by women of the Chemnitz Prison; vocabulary from the prison context; a list showing which objects are allowed or forbidden on a cell; the credits.
