Description

"SATTEL" is a comfortable seating object that presents an alternative and sustainable approach to traditional upholstered furniture. Comprising a few easily disassembled parts, this design facilitates recycling. The foldable steel frame tensions the fabric upon unfolding. Comfort is achieved solely through the fabric tension, eliminating the need for traditional padding. The frame shapes the elastic fabric into a saddle-like surface, visually reminiscent of a large pillow. The assembly requires no tools and allows for easy washing or even replacement of the cover. The potential for future enhancement lies in the integration of 3D knitting technology to provide even better support in specific areas.
