The collection Playtime is the first collection by Zhang & Thonsgaard (Ying Zhang and Ida Thonsgaard).


The idea behind the collection was to create a playful, easy-to-assemble interior and to make the process of assembling/putting together the pieces (folding, joining) an interesting and fun part of the design. It consists of following interior items: a floor design, a chair and a table design. You assemble the furniture by folding them, like origami and they are held together by small clips and magnets. The floor boards can be 'clicked' together and create an entire floor and you can mix the pattern as you wish. The collection is inspired by asian (chinese) paper folding and scandinavian knitting patterns - 'fusing' two different, stilistic traditions and expressions. One of the main themes of the collection is 'fabric' - how to give solid, interior pieces a light and playful character, through the use of texture and pattern and a 'fluid' assembling method.
