Fold

An architect's folded-paper language, shrunk to fit the hand — where the grip of the hand becomes the site, and the folds follow.

The Inspiration

The hand is
the site.

Fold takes the origami language architects use when building models, and shrinks the model into a vessel you can hold. Each form begins from the grip of the hand; following its ergonomics, the folded planes appear.

The palette is black and white. The iron-glaze and paper-pulp versions push a quieter idea — “seeing is deceiving” — where the true texture of a piece can only be known by touch and use.
