Dutch design studio Knol have created the project Skinned, a growing collection of fragile mold-casts from memorable parts of buildings and other ‘solid’ spaces, which have been copied into foldable skins. These thin fragments of spatial memory show specific details of the structure or material of the original place, but also capture dirt.
