Benjamin Moore’s Interior Fold series incorporates the technique of folding transparent glass onto itself. Ancient Romans used this technique as a utilitarian detail in the vessel form, giving the piece added thickness. Moore used the folding technique as a design or aesthetic element, which he combined with a horizontal plane of glass, that was spun out from the fold. The spiral wrap on the horizontal plane emphasizes the circular form.
