Designed by Angela and Mark Gilbert of Gilbert13, Fold is a metal shelf made from a single sheet of steel hand folded into shape along lasercut perforations. The complex folded form, inspired by plant growth and structures, is efficiently manufactured using minimal processes which result in a product exhibiting no joints or welds.

As a collection, the shelves work together creating a striking graphic pattern of cellular structures which branch out and colonise the wall, creating a decorative and functional 3D feature. Usable in two orientations, it allows the customer to create unique arrangements adaptable to their environment.
