Wood-skin presents Foldable Office: the first origami workstation

The WOOD-SKIN Inside team has created Foldable Office, a portable workstation that will drop on Kickstarter on October 19th.

From years of experience developing origami products with top firms such as Zaha HADID architects, the MIT self assembly lab, BMW, Pininfarina, and more, the WOOD-SKIN Inside team is thrilled to announce that a new product for the home working needs is here: the Foldable Office.

We are living in a world profoundly shaped by an emergency that is changing forever the way we live and work, making homes hybrid spaces where it is necessary to juggle work and your personal life.

Synonymous with versatility, the WOOD-SKIN® technology offers the opportunity to create an object to answer this new need. The Foldable office is an origami-inspired workstation that helps you move everything you need from one room to the other and from one place to the next with ease and style.

Foldable Office is manufactured with high performance Biesse CNC machines and sustainable high quality materials within our own facilities at materea.industries, making the product ready for fabrication and even customisable with company logos.

Inspired by origami its designed to suite every situation

Designed for those who transform limits into opportunities, the new Foldable office is by far the simplest yet most practical folded object ever conceived by the WOOD-SKIN team. With a clever design, it transforms in just a few steps, from workstation to space divider. Made with beautiful materials, in Italy, via WOOD-SKIN®’s patented manufacturing process.

Easy and practical, in a few steps you can set up your workspace: a dedicated space for your work accessories in one compact product.  It will be live on Kickstarter on the 19th of October 2020, starting from a super early bird price at 99€ with only 50 pieces available, while the public price once on the market will be 149€.

There will be also available packages starting from a double with 2 pieces at 95€ each, the 6 packs featuring the engraving option available, and finally the company pack, of 10 or 20 pieces, with custom company logo available.

In few steps you can set up your workspace whenever you want

Easy to move between the different spaces of the house, on a table or on the sofa, a spacious tool that is easy to bring along in the new era of mobile working. Everything in its own place, just like in the office. Foldable Office helps to elevate your laptop to avoid overheating, and create better posture – healthier posture for a better life. Customisation is also available: add a logo, a personal touch with complimentary message/name engraving, choose between an elegant choice of materials.

Thanks to its origami nature, it can be easily folded and carried everywhere with its custom shoulder bag.

A product with Italian design principles at its core

To adapt to this new reality, it uses the right material: WOOD-SKIN® is a patented process, FSC certified, Made in Italy. WOOD-SKIN Inside is our think tank dedicated to product development in collaboration with brands and designers.

We love to help established companies, as well as startups, take full advantage of the WOOD-SKIN® technology. Forget the hinge as you know it, no more mechanical issues, crawling, lubricant pinched fingers and assembly lines.
