Kata

Chair by ARPER
Design by Altherr Désile Park, 2021

www.arper.com

»The Kata Lounge Chair is Arper’s first chair with a solid wood frame. Not only does it appear slim and light, but it also impresses with a small ecological footprint. The principles of sustainability and circular economy were the focus in designing Kata. The lounge chair is inspired by the nearly universal typology of handcrafted chairs made from wood and woven straw. As a modern and sustainable interpretation, Kata combines clean lines with warm appeal, material presence with minimal silhouette, softness with stability, and tradition with modern technology.«

Design by Iskos – Berlin

www.madebyhand.dk

»The Knit-Wit is an innovative design lamp that integrates traditional knitting craftsmanship into modern lighting. Although knitting is an ancient craft, it has rarely been used for modern design lamps. However, this was the fundamental concern for Made by Hand when developing Knit-Wit. The knit of this lamp is unique and distributes light through the pattern of the cover. This gives each lamp an individual and decorative touch.«

CRADLE

Chair by MOROSO
Design Benjamin Hubert, 2015

www.moroso.it

»At Layer, we explore how the form, format, and materiality of traditional product typologies can be reinterpreted to improve their everyday performance. The Cradle collection is a unique blend of two seating typologies – a net-structured hammock and a conventional upholstered lounge chair. The series uses a new high-performance three-dimensional stretch textile, developed by Layer in close collaboration with an Austrian knitting manufacturer. The knitted textile has high strength but low density, thus providing the necessary ergonomic support for the body with a fraction of the material of a traditional net.«

Agilis

Office Chair by lento

www.lento.de

»Contour knitting – makes clothes for furniture. You actually don’t see anything, and that’s good!
Like a dress, the covers cling with silky shine to the backrest and seat surface.
lento uses the most innovative knitting technology and achieves seamless surfaces that help the agilis achieve a perfect contour, being elastic and robust at the same time.
Compared to woven fabric, the stitches enhance comfort through better breathability and higher tension. Thus, the upholstery maintains its shape even after years of use while providing the most pleasant seating climate.
The covers, knitted completely in one piece, have no pressure points at seams and simultaneously enable resource-efficient production.
With the introduction of contour knitting, lento consciously opts for sustainable manufacturing technology.«

Bloom

Sofas by et al.
Design Luca Nichetto

www.et-al.it

»Bloom is the new modular sofa system for outdoor living. Its apparent simplicity conceals a versatile and adaptable project, precisely because it was conceived as a system. The designer has created a metal structure that combines support and aesthetics with backrests made of 3D knitted fabric, on which the upholstered cushions rest. The result is a comfortable and practical sofa that makes it easy to create combinations between different modules. The frame consists of extruded aluminum crossbeams and cast aluminum connections; the cushions are made of water-repellent, breathable, and draining materials, while the 3D cover is knitted directly to the shape of the structure.«
