Keeping in mind the space problem in almost every household, South Korean designer Jongha Choi has reportedly created a collection of space-saving, collapsible furniture yet again. This new range of furniture is comprised of stools and tables made from aluminium. The collection is called De-dimension as the furniture in this collection is transformable from flat, two-dimensional forms into functional, three-dimensional forms and vice versa.
While the new collection of furniture is space-efficient and suitable for increasingly popular micro homes, Choi’s focus was on achieving an illusion of perspective. According to Choi, he wanted to create the experience of a two-dimensional image in a three-dimensional space.
"I have already experienced three-dimensional forms through various two-dimensional media, such as paintings, photos or video, but I haven't seen this happen the other way around," Choi told Dezeen.
"It is partly possible through virtual reality, but in this project I wanted the experience to happen in the real space, intuitively and physically," he added.
The collection is designed in such a way that the process of folding and unfolding them would offer a literal and physical representation of turning a two-dimensional image, like an initial design sketch, to a finalised, three-dimensional product.
When he initiated the process of designing the collection, he began with developing a mechanism that would allow him to collapse the furniture down into isometric forms. He started with simple drawings on paper which were then cut out and transformed into paper models, then into plastic models, and finally into aluminium products.
