Durian
Chair of CAD, Cologne University of Applied Sciences, 2011
Durian is a 3D-folded bowl on the principal folding techniques by Ron Resch, "a visionary mathematician and designer who was one of first to explore the architectural potential of 3D tessellated structures in the 1960’s and 70’s" (arkinetblog).
The bowl is made of Dibond, an aluminium composite material by 3A Composites. Due to the folding technique and the material composition the bowl has a minimum weight but maxiumum stiffness
If you order a bowl, it will be sent to you as a 40x40cm flat milled sheet and you can decide the level of folding by yourself.
Development / Production in cooperation with Tischlerei Bächer
