About the collection

FOLD

The collection Fold comprises unique pieces and small series made from fine Japanese paper. The selected shoji paper is either all-white or a composition of carefully coordinated, hand-dyed colours.
The combination of the objects’ clear lines and the material’s unique properties creates a harmonious interplay of light, colour and structure. Each creation embodies simple elegance and fine craftsmanship.

PAPER STRIPS 

The individual strips are made of a three-layered Japanese paper composite. The shoji paper combines the traditional Japanese paper’s elegant material properties with high tear resistance, good light transmission, and high moisture resilience. 

WATER-BASED DRAWINGINKS 

The high-quality, water-based inks are sourced from a well-established ink company with over 130 years of experience in ink-making techniques. The inks are primarily composed of renewable raw materials and natural binders, and are processed by hand. 

The use of these drawing inks allows for the creation of playful colour compositions. This intentional break from classic shoji paper, which is traditionally natural or white, imbues selected FOLD objects with a dynamic and modern twist.

THE BASE

The lamp bases are crafted from solid lime wood. Carefully selected planks are joined and shaped into an octagon, creating a stable and sculptural foundation. 

Each of the eight surfaces is hand-painted with fine high-quality colours, giving every base its own rhythm and character. 

In combination with undyed white shoji paper shade, the lamp bases are made of solid oak, which has a more textured surface than lime wood, and are oiled in a monochrome finish.
