"FLAT PACKING SYSTEM” (FPS) is an attempt to uncover the hidden properties of steel and to explore new ways of thinking about furniture and its production.
The process is quite simple. We simply cut, drill, or perforate a thin sheet of steel, 1.6mm thick, with laser.
At first, we were surprised at how easily a sheet of steel could be bent along a perforated line…just like Origami, the traditional Japanese paper craft.
We began to call the perforated line to be bent as “live hinge”.
