PROTECTED DESIGN
Don’t be fooled by appearances.
Although it might look like paper, these products are made from Tyvek®.
This makes them durable, resistant to water, chemicals, abrasion and aging, but still light and smooth to the touch.

Tyvek® is used in a bunch of everyday objects, but it is a discreet material.
It is its surface structure that defines its use: tyvek® can be made soft and flexible - like fabric; or smooth and sturdy - like paper.

My aim was to take Tyvek® into the playfield and mess around with its appearance and properties.
I created three objects that look like they are made from paper, and they are folded like paper… but they make use of the resistant property of tyvek®.
They look fragile but are long-lasting.

laptop sleeve
This is not a typical laptop sleeve. It protects from scratches and bumps but at the same time it is an elegant solution to offer more privacy while working on the go.
When opening the sleeve, the sides unfold like a paper accordion and create a shielded workspace – giving you the space to concentrate without distraction.
Because it is made of Tyvek®, it is very light but sturdy at the same time – great to protect your laptop and your data wherever you go.

room divider
This expandable partition can be made into a freestanding wall or a fanned out screen. The structure of Tyvek® becomes apparent when light falls through the semitranslucent material and creates a play of light and shade.
Unfolded in no time, it can be used to hide, divide or decorate.
