Knot
When designing a new chair, a mock-up is helpful in design development. In addition to the visual design, it enables a better assessment of comfort, stability and structure. The set of chairs, titled ‘Knot’ as a play on words, were made for a Chicago home and were created using English oak with burr elm cushions and knots, this chair started with the idea of a handkerchief tied to a frame. The handkerchief became cushions.
