Materialworks is one of Germany's organizations serving the design world with material information. Their latest newsletter features an inspiring short story about Hannecke, a company known by its display systems for shows and events.
The company patented a brand new CUT'N FOLD process which makes it possible to heat crooked and intersecting bending lines to create for instance 3D products out of Plexiglas.
This means, the world of flat and simple displays are over and we'll soon be enjoying more smooth and curved designs by the in-house origami expert Stefan Delecat. Delecat's efforts even inspire Hannecke to start producing furniture or instant architecture, so get ready for a more foldable lifestyle.
