01 / A drawing, put to use
A small gesture.
An everyday place.
A Fold for Rain is a small piece of architecture for an object that has just come indoors. Its gathered outline echoes fabric drawn together, while a dull yellow passage brings a trace of weather to the pale surface. The liner separates the practical task of catching water from the expressive weight of the shell.
