The Relief Chair and Fashioning Felt

I have been posting a lot about felt lately - felt is my personal discovery as a material for furniture and other unusual products such as jewelry or lighting, but The Relief Chair by Brooklyn-based Mickus Projects in addition to being visually impressive and very elegant is a great idea from technological point of view - digital fabrication is applied to craft a complete piece of furniture without the use of upholstery, foam, or toxic finishes. Instead, dense wool felt composes the seat and back, carved into gentle ridges. The Relief Chair is part of a collection called solid/surface/series, which includes several other pieces of furniture experimenting with the same material reportsDwell magazine
Relief Chair is featured in Fashioning Felt exhibition opened last week and running through September 7, 2009 at the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum.
