Fold Hang Chair, designed by Atelier Fomenta, is neither strictly a seat nor simply a table, it unfolds as an exploration of textile as both structure and gesture. At times, it is a smooth, rigid plane—at others, a pliant, folded cushion that yields to the body. In its shifting presence, the piece challenges conventional notions of function, embracing the tension between control and softness, structure and improvisation.

Atelier Fomenta (Julia Arvelo, Florence Barnabé, and Muriel Bentolila) approaches design as an exploration of feeling—where objects and spaces exist in a state of flux, shifting between function and expression. Their work moves fluidly between references: a cinematic play of light, a fleeting detail captured in a photograph, a fragment of art that lingers in the mind. This process of translation yields pieces that resist easy classification—objects that blur the lines between the industrial and the handmade, the sculptural and the utilitarian, the ironic and the poetic.

Crafted in collaboration with Montreal artisans, each project is an articulation of material and form, where design becomes a conversation between discipline and intuition.
