patrick frey: FIDA folding mat for vial
FIDA, designed by patrick frey is a fully functional folding mat for use as seating on the go.
weighing only 2,7kg the blanket-like object easily transforms from a flat surface to sturdy, upright seating. by securing the top two corners together with the fastening belt, a triangular fold creates a stable back rest. FIDA’s compact design folds up and transports easily and can also be used unfolded as a surface to spread out on. the soft water repellent mat measures 172cm x 117cm x 1cm and is made out of PU foam covered in codura, a durable outdoor fabric. upon its release the seat will be available in a variety of colors.
FIDA most recently on show at the interieur 2010 kortrijk and is scheduled to release in spring 2011.
