(54) Collapsible structure


(57) The invention relates to the provision of a structure (2) which is formed from a series of members (6; 8) between which sheet material depends to form said structure (2) when in an erected condition. The walls (12, 14; 112) which are typically formed are relatively planar and the invention provides for the addition of non-planar features (21; 121) on the said walls (12, 14; 112) of the structure (2) and which non-planar features (21; 121) can also be moved between the flattened and erected conditions. Further additional sheet material (34; 36) can also be used and moved to an extended condition to further improve the aesthetic appearance of the structure (2).
