FOLD PANELS
by W-S

The collection sinks its roots in Japanese aesthetics, where nature’s beauty lies precisely in its ephemerality and imperfection.



In different shapes from one another, trees grow and continuously change, even if their existence is not everlasting. Imbued with Buddhist principles, the Japanese Weltanschauung of wabi-sabi preaches to appreciate what is inexact, unfinished, and transient. The philosophy extends well beyond poetry and art to go and influence craftsmanship in the practice of Origami, literally oru-kami, or to fold paper. Integrating cuts to the Origami method, strictly limited to paper folding, the more recent Ullagami technique utilizes paper sheets in their entirety, tracing a roadmap for a zero-waste production. WOOD-SKIN could not overlook such fine exercises and was inspired by clean folds, geometrical modules, and sharp incisions. WOOD-SKIN, the unconventional Italian company in the business of surfaces coating, is pleased to introduce its brand-new Fold Panels collection. Propelled by the optimization of sustainable materials, Fold Panels’ simple design establishes a comfortable atmosphere for the user, retracing any preference through a tailored approach.
