Using a previous project as inspiration, I designed a chair based off the folds of origami. The qualities of origami that I gravitated towards were the thinness of paper and the strength that it acquires from the process of folding. The chair consists of 4 separate panels that are independent yet integrated, which emphasizes its relationship to the human body and origami.
