Benjamin Hubert : Garment Chair

Le designer londonien Benjamin Hubert a dessiné le fauteuil club "Garment chair" pour l'éditeur Cappellini. Fruit d'une réflexion sur le textile et le mobilier, naissant au croisement des deux

 univers, cette assise se compose d'une forme géométrique en polyuréthane habillée d'une pièce de tissu qui se glisse sur elle comme un vêtement.











Sur ce projet, Benjamin Hubert précise:

"Garment is a lounge club chair with a unique approach to the application and construction of textile in the furniture industry. The chair is a study into how to ’dress’ a piece of furniture defying the conventional rules and construction of typical upholstery.

A single piece of textile is loosely folded around a distinctive geometric polyurethane form. This construction and loose cover allows for creases to become part of the character of the chair reminiscent of a piece of fashion and increases the sensation of visual softness.

The chairs construction is ‘stitch less’ as it comprised of a single sheet of textile fixed onto the form with Velcro. The chair is detailed with inverted box pleats reinforcing this relationship with clothing. The cover can also be easily removed and interchanged based on the season or fashion."
