Pleats

Israeli designers Yael Mer & Shay Alkalay of Raw-Edges Design Studio created an astonishing series of plush seats. To do so, they borrowed a pleating technique used in fashion production, and a special material (DuPont ™ Tyvek ® sheets). The method of pleating allows the flat, non elastic material to become a springy, three dimensional cushion when filled with soft polyurethane foam. Brilliant!
