| Text | This model of sofa has a plush and comfortable appearance, because of the very enveloping sides. It is very easily available in an Armchair 1.
Sofa 1. Hold the sheet in a horizontal position. First step: prepare the contours of the sofa 2. Create a valley fold by bringing the top edge over the bottom edge from top to bottom. 3. Create a valley fold by bringing the bottom edge of the front flap up to the top edge (hinge fold). 4. Flip the fold from right to left. 5. Create a valley fold by bringing the bottom edge of the front flap up to the top edge (hinge fold). We have a horizontal accordion with 4 flaps. At the top, we find a simple edge hiding a hinge edge itself hiding a new simple edge. At the bottom, there are two double-thick flaps. 6. Create a valley fold by bringing the top edge of the front flap up and down to the bottom edge (hinge fold). Mark the fold. Unfold. 7. Unfold the flaps to return to the initial sheet. The sheet has 4 horizontal folds. These folds can be either valley or mountain. 8. Turn the sheet so that the upper half, delimited by a central horizontal fold, has only one horizontal fold located a quarter of the height, while the lower part has 2 horizontal folds spaced an eighth of the way apart. 9. Fold the bottom edge of the sheet upwards with a valley fold, using the first horizontal fold from the bottom. The bottom of the sheet now consists of a hinge edge. 10. Fold the top edge of the sheet downward with a valley fold, using the first horizontal fold from the top. The top of the sheet supports a quarter-height, single-thickness horizontal flap. 11. Create a valley fold by bringing the left edge over the right edge from left to right. 12. Flip the fold from right to left. 13. Create a valley fold by bringing the right edge to the left edge from right to left. 14. Flip the fold from right to left. The model is in the form of a horizontal rectangle with an upper flap of half the height of the shape and a lower flap of a quarter of the height of the sheet. The two flaps delimit a central strip of single thickness. Three equidistant vertical folds divide the width of the rectangle into four parts. The central strip is divided into four squares. We will focus on the left square and the right square. 15. Create an oblique valley fold passing through the upper left corner of the left square of the central strip and through the lower right corner of the same square by bringing the lower left corner of the fold from bottom to top on the bottom of the upper front flap. Mark the fold well. Unfold You should avoid folding the lower flap. 16. Create an oblique valley fold passing through the upper right corner of the left square of the central strip and through the lower left corner of the same square by bringing the upper left corner of the fold up and down on the top of the lower front flap. Mark the fold well. Unfold You should avoid folding the upper flap. 17. Create an oblique valley fold passing through the upper right corner of the right square of the central strip and through the lower left corner of the same square by bringing the lower right corner of the fold from bottom to top on the bottom of the upper front flap. Mark the fold well. Unfold You should avoid folding the lower flap. 18. Create an oblique valley fold passing through the upper left corner of the right square of the central strip and through the lower right corner of the same square by bringing the upper right corner of the fold up and down on the top of the lower front flap. Mark the fold well. Unfold. You should avoid folding the upper flap. We have a rectangular shape with two horizontal folds forming three horizontal bands. The lower strip (double thickness) will form the foot of the sofa, the middle strip (single thickness) will form the seat and the upper strip (double thickness) will form the back. Three vertical folds divide the rectangular shape into 2 upper bands of 4 squares and a lower band of 4 rectangles. Second step: passage into three dimensions 19. Hold the rectangular shape horizontally, such that the top and bottom flaps are in front. 20. Fold the bottom strip down 90¡. 21. Rotate the right strip from right to left, around the first vertical fold from the right, bringing it vertical. You must push at the upper right apex of the strip. The lower rectangle pivots backwards. We obtain, on the right side of the shape, a vertical flap formed by a rectangle (this is the right rectangle of the lower band of , above a triangle (formed from the middle square of the vertical strip which has been folded on a diagonal) and at the top right the upper square of the original strip, above a triangle (formed from the middle square of the vertical strip which has been folded on a diagonal) and at the top right the upper square of the original strip. 22. Rotate the left strip from left to right, around the first vertical fold from the left, bringing it vertically. You must push at the top left vertex of the strip. The lower rectangle pivots backwards. The bottom of the couch is in place. 23. Return the right vertical upright to horizontal, rotating it from left to right around its base. 24. Return the left vertical upright to horizontal, rotating it from right to left around its base. The bottom of the couch remained in place. It is surmounted by a shape made up at the front of a strip comprising, from left to right, a triangle, two squares and another triangle. At the back is a strip of 4 squares. 25. Rotate the back strip forward around the first horizontal fold, to stand it vertically. The base of the couch still hasn't moved. It is surmounted by a horizontal band bordered on the left and right by two triangles which extend beyond the base. At the back is a vertical strip made up of four squares. The left and right squares will form the sides of the couch. 26. While holding the backrest in a vertical position with your left hand, form a valley fold by bringing down the middle of the free edge of the right triangle (the fold was prepared previously). Go until you meet the right side of the bottom of the couch. A triangle of quadruple thickness is formed. At the same time, the right square of the vertical strip pivots from back to front and closes the right side of the sofa. 27. Rotate the thick triangle that has formed around its upper edge, upwards, until it meets the right wall of the couch. The right wall is a square made up of two thicknesses, including a free flap towards the outside. 28. Slide the triangle under the first thickness of the right wall, which will block it vertically. The right wall is a square with one vertex free, the other three being fixed. 29. Create an oblique valley fold by folding the right upright from left to right on a line passing through the fixed vertex of the top of the square and the fixed vertex of the bottom front. Pinch the bottom of the fold tightly, which will block the hidden triangle. We can rely on the triangle hidden in the amount. We now have a triangular vertical side to which is attached a triangle which will form the armrest. 30. Shape the armrest. We will now repeat the operations from steps 26 to steps 30 to create the left wall. 31. While holding the backrest in a vertical position with your right hand, form a valley fold by bringing down the middle of the free edge of the left triangle (the fold was prepared previously). Go until you meet the left side of the bottom of the couch. A triangle of quadruple thickness is formed. At the same time, the left square of the vertical strip pivots from back to front and closes the left side of the sofa. 32. Rotate the thick triangle that has formed around its upper edge, upwards, until it meets the left wall of the couch. The left wall is a square made up of two layers, including a free flap facing the outside. 33. Slide the triangle under the first thickness of the left wall, which will block it vertically. The left wall is a square with one vertex free, the other three being fixed. 34. Create an oblique valley fold by folding the left upright from right to left on a line passing through the fixed vertex of the top of the square and the fixed vertex of the bottom front. Pinch the bottom of the fold tightly, which will block the hidden triangle. We can rely on the triangle hidden in the amount. We now have a triangular vertical side to which is attached a triangle which will form the armrest. 35. Shape the armrest. 36. Pinch all the edges bordering the sofa well, so that the fold holds well The sofa is finished. You can add two soft cushions, which will make you want to sit on them. Armchair 1 1. Hold the sheet in a horizontal position. 2. Create a valley fold by bringing the right edge to the left edge from right to left. You should not mark the folds too much as they could be reversed during folding. 3. Create a valley fold by bringing the left edge of the front flap from left to right to the right edge (hinge fold). We now have a front flap of simple thickness which represents a quarter of the surface of the initial square. This flap is connected to the rest of the fold by a vertical hinge fold located to its left. 4. Remove the front flap by cutting it along the hinge crease. We now have a rectangular rear flap connected to a half-sized rectangular flap by a vertical hinge fold located on the right. 5. Unfold the front flap to lay the sheet flat. We have a vertical rectangle of proportion 3x4. The two vertical folds which appear correspond to the vertical folds of the sofa. 6. Follow the folding procedure that begins at step 1 of the couch. The result is an Armchair 1 that harmonizes perfectly with the sofa. |
