| DESIGN NAME: Joseph Felt Chair PRIMARY FUNCTION: Seating INSPIRATION: Felt has been used in the past to create seating objects, but these past examples have used epoxy resin (Gaetano Pesce's Feltri Chair) or additional substructures to hold up the weight of the occupant. The Joseph Felt Chair just utilizes the strength of the material felt to create a timeless design with a memorable appearance. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Felt Chair Joseph is composed of six rolls of interwoven felt, pressed together with stainless steel fasteners. The chair uses the structural properties of felt to create a soft construction. It does not need a cover or an inner frame as conventional upholstered furniture, because the outer appearance is the outcome of its integral construction. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: - PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started as thesis work in 2000 at the Royal College of Art. It is in the permanent collection of the Vitra Design Museum. In 2017 it was revised for production. The Joseph Felt Chair product line will be introduced at the IMM cologne in 2018. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Furniture Design |
