At the beginning of the development process, various paper folding techniques were explored to understand how a solid material can be folded and in which directions it expands at specific pressure points.

Following this thorough investigation, a sophisticated folding technique was developed, allowing for the transition from a flat surface to a three-dimensional one that is foldable and expandable without altering its external dimensions.

This well-thought-out design was then translated into a knitting program. After multiple tests on knitting techniques, materials, and parameters such as stitch size and tension, the result could be produced as a single knitted surface using an industrial knitting machine.
