A folly thrives in the tension between opposites: simplicity and complexity, mass and space, familiarity and wonder. While a folly occupies space, it simultaneously creates spatiality, inviting exploration and curiosity.
At the heart of Folly 50/50 lies the cube, celebrated for its powerful simplicity. By introducing a zigzag cut that slices through the cube, it is divided into two equal halves with an intricate, dynamic dividing surface.
The upper half transforms into a solid wooden form, its diagonal folds radiating in all directions, creating a striking visual interplay. Beneath it, an open space emerges—an invitation to wonder and reflect.
What captivates is the balance: the void mirrors the mass, equal in size and presence. This interplay of opposites draws the eye and the mind, compelling you to unravel how something so simple can evoke such surprising complexity. One half is seen; the other is felt. Together, they create an experience of balance and marvel.
