Pleated Pleat by Raw Edges

I was almost certain we had featured the Stool, chair and lounger upholstered with pleated Tyvek by Yael Mer and Shay Alkalay of Raw Edges Design Studio here already…Not so. Pleating allows flat, non elastic materials to become a springy, three dimensional cushion when filled with soft polyurethane foam. That is what they did here.
Notably I’ve found an entire blog dedicated to pleating: Pleat Farm, which to my pleasure, has a Chairs section as well.

Fluffy Chair by Mona Duyster at IMM Cologne 2011 (14)

Fluffy-Chair-by-Mona-Duyster-Photo-by-Chair-Blog-_MG_8241

My camera found this chair by Mona Duyster which I’ve now coined Fluffy. It was in the booth of the 2011 IMM Cologne convention center where work from students of the Interior design Faculty of the University of Trier (Fach Hochschule Trier) was exhibited amongst rows of chairs that normally fill the convention center.

And what chair. Like a ballerina or real fashion model it proudly shows its fluffy upholstery.

An unmanned and minimal way of showing work of your students, but some credits at the booth would have been helpful, also because you don’t have to snatch away paper fliers….Well it all invites to a good old rant: Even the post at their own site doesn’t divulge much….Trier University could learn something from other universities to promote their students and alumni in this digital age…..I do know Trier dates back a long time..but hey we’re in the 21st century Ladies and Gentleman!
