Due to its special processing, from light to very thin wood thicknesses, which receive a textile-like coating, this material acquires its special flexibility and foldability, similar to that of textiles, through incorporated folding and cutting patterns. In production, this means that even complex folding patterns and unwinds can be produced without interruptions. From the combination of historical craftsmanship and advanced technologies, Foldtex was already used in the construction of a Paravent shelf in 1999. In the meantime, Foldex has become an integral part of worldwide material databases and publications. Since 2001, it has won multiple design awards.     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/specialmaterial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#specialmaterial<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/workforabetterworld\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#workforabetterworld<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/materialdevelopment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#materialdevelopment<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/innovative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#innovative<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/foldtex\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#foldtex<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-sans-serif wp-block-paragraph\">Product name:<strong> <strong><strong>Foldtex<\/strong><\/strong><br\/><\/strong>Manufacturer: <strong><strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.foldtex.com\/category\/material\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Foldtex<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><br\/>Project status: Concept \/\/ Prototype \/\/ <strong>Ready for market<\/strong> \/\/ Ready for series production<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-sans-serif has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Source: Peters, Sascha: Materialrevolution II.
