Fold Swivel Chair, Jet
Fold - the edited swivel chair.
Leveraging advance construction methods, Fold combines amazing comfort with a strong sculptural quality. Inspired by the work of mid-century British sculptors Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore, Fold is defined by the characteristic Fold on its outer-surface. This combination of hard edges and soft curves plays with the subtle effects of light and shadow over its welcoming form imparting added dimension and presence.
Fold is BIFMA-Compliant and suitable for both residential and contract use. Made with a high-quality plywood frame and molded foam without using any glue, Fold is also a fully circular product that can be disassembled for repair, reupholstery, repurposing and recycling. This starts with the removable ‘closing panel’ on the underside which neatly conceals all the engineering magic happening within. Instead of using a standard off-the-shelf swivel base (which are often wobbly and unattractive),
we wanted something better. In response we developed a custom mechanism using a circular industrial bearing and laser-cut steel rings capable of supporting 750 lbs. This ensures a completely smooth and effortless ride, with no sound and a low-profile that is barely visible.
Fold is offered in two curated house fabrics as standard:
Boli - a chunky boucle exclusive to EDITS. Made from 100% recycled polyester fiber and acrylic, Boli combines contract-grade durability with rich texture and softness. 7 colours.
Jet - is a fine weave Trevira produced by Fidivi, Italy. Available in a broad palette of design-forward colours, Jet is perfect for a tailored and graphic look. 66 colours.

This unique training informs the new-modernist approach that now guides EDITS.
