Folding techniques

From paper divisions to basic pleats, twisted pleats, V-pleats, pleat grids, or pleats in fabric – this foundational work offers a collection of pleats that can be applied in infinite variations across all areas of design and implemented with any surface material.

It systematically teaches the basis for all work with pleats. One learns how to stretch, compress, fan out, twist, multiply, and mirror pleat systems. Additionally, it shows how pleating techniques can be adapted to specific requirements and how, starting from simple ideas, original pleat forms can be developed.

The techniques are taught step-by-step using drawings and photos and illustrated with more than 60 examples from architecture, fashion, and design.
