hinge+fold

I've been experimenting with membrane hinge and different kinds of folds.

Membrane hinge is a brilliant way of building shapes. My model is made out of plexiglass pieces angled at 15 degrees on the sides. The outcome is a half-circle that can be laid flat or folded to save space.
it could be a roof structure, a shelter...

I had this idea of making membrane hinge chair where the shape would be determined by the angles of individual components.
