OUTDOOR ’FOLD’ OUTDOOR COLLECTION SAMUEL WILKINSON FOR THE CONRAN SHOP
Designer Samuel Wilkinson first came up with the concept for ‘Fold’ several years ago, while testing ways of wrapping upholstery around a metal frame. ‘It’s like a padded jacket, with pillow-like cushions that fold around and zip back to themselves,’ he explains. ‘They’re fully removable, which allows all of the components to be separated for easy cleaning and to be replaced or recycled if necessary.’ Created for outdoor use, the design works equally well indoors, too. ‘Like any product, “Fold” has had a long journey,’ he continues. ‘It takes years of development to get things right, so it’s great to receive an award, especially from a respected name like ELLE Decoration.’ From £1,548 (conranshop.co.uk)
