UN_FOLD
Creative Director: Fabrice Frere , Phil Nutley
Video Produced by: Fabrice Frere
Soundtrack: Fabrice Frere
Magazine: CITY Magazine
UN_FOLD is a global design challenge and exhibition bringing together the progressive ideas of nine of the world's most promising and gifted international designers.
We sent nine contemporaries from nine cities around the globe an unparalleled challenge: to create a cost-effective, collapsible piece of furniture and ship it to New York inside a large FedEx box within 90 days of receipt of the project brief. What they created was strictly up to them, but the final product and construction had to adhere to the following:
• BUDGET could not exceed $200 (or equivalent)
• EACH DESIGN must support the weight of a person up to 200 lbs (90 kgs)
• CONCISE INSTRUCTIONS must accompany the design in order to assemble it for exhibition
Video produced and edited by Fabrice Frere from a project conceived by Phil Nutley. Soundtrack Composed by Fabrice Frere. Copyright © 2008 Planetfab. Special thanks to MercBar for use of the "red room". Production note: Phil is wearing DieselStyleLab jeans, and Fab is drinking Bombay Sapphire. Send us some feedback.
