‘A witty album of spacesavers’ – The Guardian

Bursting with ideas and visual ingenuity, peppered with wit and humour, 'Collapsibles' is an album for inspiration – a designer’s dream sourcebook and gadget-junkie’s joy.

Functional and fashionable, funny and sometimes far-out, here is an entire world of collapsibles, objects that fold out for use and fold back in again for storage. Per Mollerup brings together a fascinating array of design classics, historic curios and up-to-the-minute gadgetry in over 500 illustrations and diagrams: tents and telephones, ladders and hoses, toys, tables, cameras and chairs – not to mention retractable dog leads, rubber keyboards and blow-up dolls.

Per Mollerup is the director of Mollerup Designlab, a leading Scandinavian design firm specializing in corporate identity and environmental signage, for which it has won the Danish Design Prize nine times.
