Knitty Lounge Chair by Nika Zupanc, an icon of relaxation. The chair is created with extra-large ‘yarn’ that resemble giant ship ropes. Those big navy knots, used to secure the ships. The yarn is upholstered with knitted fabric, providing an unparalleled softness. The basket weave pattern adds texture and tactile feedback to the design, creating a unique blend of scale and softness. The Knitty Lounge Chair is perfect for curling up with a book, watching the sunset, or daydreaming.
What makes the Knitty Lounge Chair so remarkable is its intricate basket weave pattern and scale. The proportions are grand, making you feel small in the best of ways. This larger-than-life chair creates a sense of awe or wonder, reminiscent of standing on the deck of an enormous ship or experiencing a beautiful natural landscape.
Knitty’s ample size, sturdy base, chunky basket weave. They all provide a sense of security and comfort. But Knitty is not just a chair. It is a near-impossible design piece that tickles your imagination and provides ultimate relaxation. When you are snuggling up between the extra-large folds, the chair reminds you of the joys of knitting and weaving, transforming simple materials into something extraordinary and unexpected.
The Knitty Lounge Chair is upholstered with a knitted three-dimensional (Kvadrat) fabric that boasts a precise graphic pattern. Soft-edged tactile diamond shapes are present, producing a quilted impression.
