Jumper Chair by Bertjan Pot

The Jumper Chair by Dutch designer Bertjan Pot is a further development of his Seamless Chair :

When I first made the seamless chair that took 40 hours of felting by hand. I never thought something industrial would come out. But when I ran into some machines at the textile museum in Tilburg it turned out to be not that impossible at all. Jumper is a chair upholstered with a knitted woolen cover. The cover was knitted on a special machine that knitted the whole piece in one go. normally a knitted woolen cover would not make it trough an abrasion test very well, but because we felted the cover by washing it at a high temperature the textile became very dense and durable. Jumper was designed for the British brand Established & Sons and was on show in their 2010 presentation in Milan.

For the non Dutch language reader: Jumper is Dutch for Sweater

Un-Tied or Tied-Up Armchair?

Un-tied or tied-up chair?
Found this armchair with Tie Covering by Peter Rafael Russo on a blog of SF Weekly. The chair was entered for a 2009 “Masterminds” design competition which in one way or the other was organized by Stanford University.

As we have our typical language problems by nature of our non native English speaking contributors already, my question is: Is “Un-Tied” better than “Tied-Up”?
