More Dressed Interior Design Objects at Salone 2010

Two more examples of the close connection between fashion and interior design at Milan Furniture Fair 2010 - Jumper chair in a knitted cover by Dutch designer Bertjan Pot


" Jumper consists of one continuous oversized woolen knitted cover, with qualities very much like that of a jumper, including buttons that fix the cover together on the underside of the chair, once the knitted cover is wrapped over the solid wooden structure and bent steel legs. The cover is knitted on a ‘Knit and Wear’ machine that is skilled for clothing garments, but this is where the fashion and design production processes divide. Once the garment is completed it is then run through a high degree wash to attain a seamless and upholstered effect eradicating most of the stretch from the wool but presenting a high quality fabric that layers the structure with precision and rigor."

Obi light by young Swedish designer Jessika Källeskog is inspired, as the name suggests, by the traditional clothing of a geisha. Made from one long strip of thin copperplate, the lamp has been created by wrapping the sheet into an airy sphere and is 'pinned' together with rods. The polished copper is also protected by a clear layer of lacquer.
