Christy Oates, Twofold
Twofold is a series of folding furniture with a dual function. When the furniture is not being used, they hang on the wall as two-dimensional compositions. The pieces can be removed from the frame, unfolded, and used as functional objects. After use, the furniture is stored on the wall in its frame. Utilizing folding
elements such as hinges, bungee cord and other structural principles, the pieces transform with ease in one fluid motion. The interactive aspect of these forms creates an awareness of how furniture performs within our personal space and its importance in daily routine as an extension of the body. The graphic images transform from a representation of an origami object in mid-fold on the outer surface to a completed representation of an origami object on the inner surface. The origami graphics symbolize a two-dimensional
surface that folds into a three-dimensional object. These graphics echo the process of the folding furniture while it’s being transformed. Like origami, the folding process involves effortless hand manipulation to fold the material into its intended form
In addition to origami, the inspiration for this work originates from nomadic living in small apartments, resulting in the continual reorganization of my own personal space. I am passionate about environmental conservation; I choose to take up less space and create less waste in my personal life and in the work I create. My furniture is designed in a CAD-based program, laser cut out of sheets of sustainably harvested
plywood with minimal material waste, assembled using eco-friendly adhesive, and sealed with waterbased
finishes. The flat-pack aspect of the work suits a mobile lifestyle for those who move frequently while reducing the cost and pollution associated with shipping and relocating. The compact nature of the work provides more open space and promotes an efficient use of a small living environment. This allows a small space to be in constant flux; transforming from one activity to the next throughout the day as furniture is taken off the wall, used, and put back into its frame.
When grouped together, these pieces establish a transformative personal space that becomes a fluid extension of the body, creating a ritual performance of efficiency that diffuses into one’s lifestyle.
