Fold, 2018-19

The Fold stool is an exploration into curvature in sheet metal. Using 0.55mm steel, Ella aimed to push the boundaries of this material’s capabilities by playing with organic and fluid forms rather than the geometric shapes it is traditionally associated with. The stool was designed for outdoor communal settings, particularly cafés.
