Foldable, mobile and easy to stow away: The team of students from the Weimar Bauhaus University (Alissa Arends, Leon Bucher and Yelim Kim) created Fold it (not only) for use by students.Due to the integrated joint and its simple construction the table made of steel pipes and multiplex board can be converted fast and easily, stowed away to save space or carried out into the open air.The table top is simply lifted out to mobilise it.

Thrown into folds: In the new outfit, everyday items like a simple stool can change their appearance dramatically and become rarities, as the young textile designer Anne Schmiederer proves with her Blue Ruffle Chair.With the project she aims to discover the fields of application of the classic plissé technique in interior design.

Started in the back of a garage. A simple hook workshop lamp was the starting point for this extremely flexible lighting system by the German designers Jonas Wansing and Svenja-Katharina Jakobs.It gains its flexibility from the 60° cut and a sliding contact at the ends of the individual, extendible elements.These supply each other with electricity and form both the lamp and the frame at the same time.

Upcycling as a form of art: it was the material that inspired Hamburg textile designer Sophia Schulz to create her Honeycomb Carpets. She takes thick rolls of wool – waste products from felt making – and uses them as the weft material in woven carpets. In this way unique carpets with strong patterns are produced that remind one of a honeycomb or cell structures in one's traditional loom.

Floating, lightweight room dividers: Sometimes the suggestion of privacy is enough. The Foam Fences of the Belgian designer Anton Hendrik Denys look like metal grating due to the rubber coat and the angular overlapping voluminous foam strips, but are indeed soft and lightweight.They allow ample light and just enough of an unrestricted view so that a room can be defined without suffocating it.

A carpet with an integrated used look: The colour indigo that is familiar from jeans, which on increased usage still age beautifully through the arising tones of blue shades, inspired the Dutch designer Adrianus Kundert to design the carped Indigoes.The thick cotton yarn that is only surrounded by a thin layer of indigo, shows lighter traces where people walk over the carpet more frequently.This patina turns it into a very personal item and extends its service life.

The Swedish designer Victor Alge took the scientific name for moose, Alces alces, as the name for his chairs. He wanted to find a use for the masses of animal skins left behind after moose hunting in Sweden. He developed a new processing method: hard leather parchment is softened, sewn together and then filled with compressed air before leaving it to dry – creating a form as hard as plastic.

A collaboration between the designers Alejandra Perini, Gonzalo Sanchez de Lollano and Raúl Arribas de Miguel, the metal stool Cétoine is inspired by the beauty and diversity of the insect from which it takes its name, the rose chafer. The beetle was considered sacred in many ancient cultures, and its exoskeleton is a shimmering multitude of colours that varies depending on the viewer’s perspective. The two stools respond to this interplay and are joined to each other in a sleek, fluid movement.
