Imagine your apartment being filled with these walls and furniture made of folded paper
molo design takes you on a deep dive into their almost infinitely expanding paper creations
If you've invested more time than you'd care to admit mining the internet for oddly satisfying videos of people mowing lawns and using paint rollers on their walls, you're probably going to want to spend a little time with this video about Vancouver's molo design.
Founders (and romantic partners) Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllen have been creating their expandable folded paper creations since they founded molo studio after first meeting while studying to become architects. The chairs, tabletops, walls, lamps and tea sets are the result of experimenting with the possibilities of paper and paper-like materials.
Watch the video:
In this video made by filmmaker Josephine Anderson with Matt Miles, Forsythe and MacAllen take you through the elements of their design and why they've devoted so much time to folding paper. You'll also learn how living in a small space inspired the pair to think big. Warning: lots of nice paper sounds ahead (if you're into that sort of thing).
The paper-based objects of molo have been used by clients from Hermès and Louis Vuitton to a children's cancer ward, NASA and the U.S. Army. You can find out more about molo here.
