A Continuous form for reclining rest

CONCEPT

Loop creates a continuous place for reclining rest by arranging alternating Z-folds along curved cardboard sheets

RESEARCH / PRECEDENTS

The repeated triangular units inform the arrangement of folded elements inside Loop

Connected fluting and liners inspire Loop’s open arrangement of folded cardboard

PROGRAM / USE EXPERIENCE

Rest – Body contact and fit. Study pending.
Structure – One-person capacity with permanent joints. Retest pending.
Material – Chipboard + Cardboard Z-folds. Visible in prototype.
