Sophie de Vocht is a young Dutch designer.
She has designed a number of different creations from clocks to furniture to plastic frogs. (I'm crazy for her frog.)
For the Italian furniture company Casamania she designed this lounge chair.
The Loop Chaise Lounge features a metal frame constructed with gigantic woven yarn.
She was inspired by the technique of tufting.
The seat and back are tightly woven, the weave gradually becomes looser spilling out on the floor.
The concept is an object that works as both carpet and furniture.
What triggers your thoughts?Crochet pot holder from the 70s?
Beautiful 18th-century dress with a fitted bodice that explodes into a skirt?
Or disemboweled intestines?*
do not google
image these words. i anticipated to see woodcuts from the middle ages,
but this horrendous practice apparently still continues in some parts
of the world.
