Firm Fabric Furniture

There’s no way you would have guessed that this chair is made entirely out of cloth. That’s one way of creating breathtaking design. Redefining the boundaries of a material. The Fabric Chair is literally all cloth. Stiffened using a specially formulated resin, the chair is magically hard at some parts, and comfortably soft at others. Its unusually awe-striking to see something as delicate/flexible as fabric take on such a structurally stable avatar!

The Fabric Chair secured the first place at the 2015 VMODERN Furniture Design Competition. Read more about it here.
