Chair Made From 2,700 Feet Of Fabric


This innovative chair was made by a Dutch designer called Richard Hutten. He developed the seat with patterns of fabric layered on top of one another to create this layered rock effect. He calls it "Layers Cloud Chair".
The chair is made from 545 pieces of colourful Divina fabric by Kvadrat, Europe's leading manufacture of  design textiles. The fabric has the texture of felt and is 100% wool. Making it very comfortable to sit on. each piece was cut using a CNC machine and then manually put together. 

Hutten main aim for the chair was for the fabric to be the central focus, stating "I wanted the design to be about the textile. Rather than using material as a cover, I created an object with the material". 

The chair will feature at the 2014 Salone del Mobile in Milan as part of the Kvadrat's Divina exhibition.
