Folding can be considered one of the most common of all design techniques and by exploring this activity through creasing, bending, hinging, corrugating, crumpling etc a set of structures will be produced.
Through exploration of repetition of individual elements, sequential scale change, surface treatment and material choice, a series of objects with an intended design function will be proposed.
Further development will consider structures capable of supporting, protecting, wrapping and packaging the product.
