What inspired the collection’s unique “folded” form?
The curved lines are inspired by a Möbius strip — the act of taking a simple piece of paper and bending it to create a new shape. It’s similar to origami but with a more organic form.
How will Fold collection inspire an atmosphere of wellness?
Fold keeps you company. Even when you’re not at your desk, it creates an atmosphere of relaxation throughout the room.
Fold is unique in that it provides both ambient and directional task lighting at the same time; why did you feel this was a necessary feature of the collection?
Not only does Fold give you functional light for completing your work, but it also sets a relaxing mood at the same time.
"I believe in the idea of productivity through comfort. Working from home scenarios are a reality and we wanted to address the issue of feeling anxious and alone by designing a light that creates a sense of presence."
