Tools N°3 – le pliage – The third issue of our annual magazine, which promotes know-how and technique in design, craft and industry, is devoted to folding.

We fold. Every day, we fold. We bend wood, linen, metal, cardboard, earth, even our legs and arms. The fold is in the hollow of our skin, in the corner of our eyes, in the movements of the earth… The folds of water… The fold is everywhere.
In the trades too, the fold is at the origin of many technical gestures: bending, pleating, twisting, forming, folding, etc. Fans, parachutes, tents, towels, chairs… objects fold and fold again. All the time. So we fold. But for what? That’s what we set out to find out in this third issue of Tools magazine.

Tools magazine is the brainchild of Clémentine Berry, who also founded the Twice art direction studio in Paris. This annual publication aims to simultaneously promote and investigate the details of manufacturing techniques and expertise used in art, design, interior architecture, industry and trade. Each issue focuses on a particular technique (moulding, folding, etc.), and the theme is used to select feature subjects and pieces, as well as the persons interviewed. Tools is crafted as a comprehensive inventory of design techniques. Weaving together past and present, it draws on history to illustrate how techniques have been handed down through the ages, paying homage to the creators behind the cult objects we use in our everyday lives, and whose work embodies the stories that lie at the very genesis of our shared human ingenuity.
