2024Habitare Protos 2024 offers a fascinating view of the product ideas and thoughts of young designers. Interest in materials, and questions of meaningfulness and sustainability, can be seen in the background of the prototypes presented in the exhibition. Young designers want to create objects that challenge traditional standards of beauty and become important to their owners.
Foldi, a sculptural lamp, draws its inspiration from the elegant simplicity of the triangle. The design is created by the interplay between two interlocking tetrahedrons folded into shape like origami from a single metal sheet. The play of light is choreographed through a triangular aperture formed by identical shapes, casting an indirect glow and combining form and function. Foldi’s versatility extends to various sizes, allowing adaptation to diverse spaces and preferences.
