Paddle Back Chair

A site devoted to young Scandinavian designers who presented their work in Stockhlom

Is it possible to give life to an object? That question has been the foundation of my mission to create a stronger relationship with an object. Historically, animal ornamentation in furniture design has been figurative. In this project I have focused on the tactile experience of an object to create a more empathetic, and therefore more sustainable, approach to furniture. The result is a detachable armchair covering, an easy way to alter an existing piece of furniture. The cover is a fabric mix of cotton and polyester. The padding material consists of small cellular plastic balls and plastic granulates.
