Knotted chair. Carbon, aramide fiber cord, epoxy. Marcel Wanders appeals to the imagination because it realized the designer's age-old dream: making something soft and flat become rigid and three-dimensional by means of a couple of technical inventions. By a surprising marriage of handcraft and industrial technology this lightweight chair is born. The rope is made of an aramide braid and carbon center is knotted into the shape of the chair. The slack texture is then impregnated with epoxy and hung in a frame to harden. Gaudi revisited: gravity creates the final shape. The transparent appearance of the chair misleads you, the knotted fiber, which doesn't want to collapse looks strange, alien perhaps. The chair invites to touch and try. Despite all its modern technology there is a lovely doltishness, which brings out its individual and personal character. Some products are a forerunner, a come out to new inventions, materials and technolody. The Knotted chair is such a product. Design Marcel Wanders, 1996.
