Suspended Folds is a stand created for the company Heiss Fenster and loudly highlights the first noble material of which window frames are made: the wood of the traditional frame bends, generating a dynamic wave without boundaries that overflows beyond the stand.
The exhibit design project curated by monovolume architecture + design for the trade fair stand Suspended Folds proposes an open spatial continuity that welcomes visitors on a journey through three-dimensionality and materiality. A journey through the 1:1 scale exhibition of the company's iconic fixtures.
The designers, who boast international experience in creating commercial spaces and interior design projects, create a sinuous and organic booth that rebels against the traditional concept of a trade fair booth, the typical hollow parallelepiped. The design choice reinterprets the theme of traditional craftsmanship in a contemporary character thanks to the use of wooden slats, in light and dark shades, which harmoniously and rhythmically draw a sequence of multiple segmented folds.
At the heart of the stand, between the flooring and the light ceiling, amidst the descending and ascending folds, lies the theme of encounter: a traditional cross-shaped window that rotates on itself allowing the visitor to observe it 360°, also capturing the depth of the threshold. The exhibition space also includes an open contact area and the display of two sliding windows, which combine together in a continuous space devoid of corners and edges.
The alternation between the rigidity of the fixtures and the soft effect of the folds creates a perfect rhythmic balance. The entire project is characterized by sustainability: from the design, to the choice of materials, to the assembly and disassembly, designed in a way that is reversible and reusable.
