2.5.15 | San Francisco, CA | Graham Design is proud to announce that the Fold Collection™ designed by Brian Graham for Martin Brattrud, Inc. is the recipient of a prestigious 2014 GOOD DESIGN Award for excellence in furniture design.

About The Fold Collection

Inspired by the simple act of transforming the two dimensional into three dimensional form, Fold is designed to create a strong visual presence in the modern environment. Initially conceived by the designer from one piece of paper, the composition is derived from a series of thin planes that come together to form a cradle that holds soft cushions within. The bent, angular metal base reinforces this idea of sculptural transformation.
