Erno Dierckx presents Folded 01, a minimalistic and sophisticated dinning chair, born out of experimentation with production methods and a desire to challenge traditional chair construction.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Erno Dierckx introduces Folded 01, a striking dinning chair that challenges traditional construction methods and embraces minimalism. The chair is crafted from a single hand-bent aluminum sheet, combined with a colored steel frame, resulting in a unique and durable design. The chair's inspiration stemmed from the simple act of folding a post-it note, which led to the creation of a rigid shape that was then applied to construct the chair. This innovative approach to design has resulted in a product that is both minimalistic and sophisticated, with a focus on honest and durable materials, as well as subtle color details.
Folded 01 is the latest creation by Erno Dierckx, who has a passion for challenging the way everyday objects are constructed and returning to the essence of the product. The chair's design embodies this philosophy, offering a sleek and sophisticated appearance while prioritizing comfort and functionality. The folding technique applied to the aluminum sheet provides both the necessary comfort and a natural bending effect, showcasing the designer's commitment to innovative and practical design.
Erno Dierckx's journey to bring Folded 01 to life began in February 2018 in Antwerp, Belgium, and concluded in November 2019. The chair made its debut at the Contemporary Design Fair in Brussels, marking the beginning of its recognition and acclaim in the design world. The project presented several challenges, with the primary focus on developing a reliable folding technique that would maintain a minimal and beautiful appearance. The successful realization of this vision has led to the chair's recognition, including the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in 2020, highlighting its outstanding expertise, innovation, and remarkable design characteristics.
