Folds & Forms

Folds & Forms is a Design Collective based in Berlin and made up of Architects, Designers, Makers and Thinkers. We believe in collaborative thinking and multidisciplinary design as powerful tools to achieve impact and address contemporary challenges across a networked, interconnected design landscape.

Who we are

Our core team comprises Architects and Designers with extensive international experience at top firms in Berlin, London, Copenhagen and New York. In addition we maintain an extended network of creatives to provide flexible, bespoke solutions. Our Plug-and-Play concept allows us to quickly assemble integrated teams tailored to your exact project requirements.

What we do

Our expertise spans the fields of Architecture, Interior Design, Product Design and Graphic Design. We have worked on projects ranging from large scale architectural work on museums, libraries, schools and residential, through to single family homes and temporary pavilions, and created interior design concepts for offices, high-end residential and exhibition spaces. In product design we have a portfolio of contemporary pieces developed from concept to market, and our network includes skilled designers with an extensive portfolio of print and digital media campaigns, UI / UX design, branding and typography. Together we offer a flexible and comprehensive range of bespoke design services.

Our core team is made up of trained Architects with over 15 years experience at leading architectural practices in London, New York, Copenhagen and Berlin. We have a broad portfolio of built projects and expertise in bringing exciting, innovative projects to life, from concept through to delivery and handover.

One of our founding partners is co-founder of furniture and lifestyle brand Folds. With their extensive portfolio of contemporary products, we have a deep understanding of the design and production process, from concept and development, through  prototyping and procurement strategy, to marketing and customer sales.

With previous roles as Project Manager at Carlo Ratti Associati and Creative Director at Graft Brandlab we have extensive in-house experience of successful project management and realising challenging projects with diverse multidisciplinary teams across multiple time-zones.

With a diverse range of background and specialisms we are highly qualified to propose and test UX / UI solutions from both a technical feasibility and also a design legibility perspective. Good design should be clear and intuitive allowing seamless interaction identifying and remedying pain-points.

We see architecture and interior design as two interlocking and complimentary fields have experience on office interiors, high end residential, furniture and exhibition design. We work to create identity through attractive, distinctive design and turn ‘spaces’ into ‘places’.

Alongside their stand-alone work, our graphic design team feeds into a diverse range of multidisciplinary topics, including spatial graphics, branding, interior design and UX / UI design to ensure exciting yet consistent colours, typography, identity and communication.

Combining our Architectural backgrounds with  our Graphic Design and Branding experience gives us a strong affinity for creating eye-catching and effective spatial branding solutions.

Past work with Graft Brandlab gives us a unique perspective on the intersection point between strategy, branding, graphic design and the concrete realisation of these strategies through architecture and product design. Out diverse skillset allows us to create exciting, effective, integrated solutions.
