The Fold
Architect Rabih Geha’s collaboration with Iwan Maktabi
In collaboration with Iwan Maktabi LAB, Fold – the second collection by Rabih Geha – draws from his eponymous studio RG/A’s method of recycling old ideas into new ones. Suggesting a crumpled two-dimensional canvas, the design creates an optical illusion of folds through the use of shadows, despite being flat. This colourful series, woven with contrasting yet complementary hues, is intended as a statement piece for interiors.
“Fold is a product of coincidence and instant realisation. It is a description of how design is a subjective matter whereby, even midway through the creative process, you can’t say that you are finished. It was created by trying simple stripe pattern compositions on a paper and crumpling it as a discard, realising the composition had become rich and interesting,” explains Geha.
