Origami Textile Design

Foldability was recently invited to Germany by a company who manufacture textiles globally for the automotive industry. I was asked to present research and exploration into folding and examples of how it can be applied within textile design. Behind the scenes I've been working a lot on folding experiments, researching and testing different materials and production techniques. See below some images I took of folded fabric at the pleating factory. If you are interested in using geometry or folding within a project and would like to find out more about Foldability's design consultancy service, please get in touch.
