Fun, folding furniture!

It’s a desk, but it’s also a shelf… but what is it more of? That’s the precise beauty of the Twofold. It can be both a wall-mounted shelf or a desk with such relative ease, it seems simple yet striking.

Made completely out of wood, the Twofold reinterprets a traditional wooden connection, turning the product into a hinge itself. Made from plywood with a melamine coating, the Twofold can simply be mounted on any wall. Without any external fittings i.e., hinges, flap-holders, the Twofold opens and closes, turning into a neat bookshelf when you need it to be, and a rather comfortable work desk when you want it, without disrupting the arrangement of objects kept on your shelf. Elegant, isn’t it?
