There are some craftsman bowls which were inspired by stuff Peter the Great (Russia) had done, that exhibit folding like some of this as a means to create shape so folding is old in the sense of Twain's comment that there wasn't an original thought around, the ancients stole em all from us. Charles has certainly had fun with it though, pushed it right to the edge, and inspired some really nice work.
