If you want a lightweight full sized folder, you can either get a montague (mine was 2.6kg) or change bike (claimed frame weight 2.3kg).
Sub-15lbs 700c folder is very possible if you start with the change bike frame and use caliper brake.
And you can always put lightweight components on brompton frame (or better, titanium clones). You can make a standard steel brompton as light as 16-17lbs without spending too much.
