The Loom Chair becomes wall-decor when not in use

Named after and even designed to look like a tray pulled from a hand-looming machine, the Loom Chair comes with a wooden frame and a loom-style woven fabric in between. When opened out, the Loom becomes a relaxing deck-chair or beach-chair that one can sit on, perhaps sipping on a granita, with palm trees in the background. Fold the chair together, however, and it becomes a singular rectangular frame (that you can hang on the wall) with the seating fabric stretched from end to end like a canvas. The fabric even comes with a gentle gradient, giving it appeal, and making it truly look like beautiful wall-hung decor, allowing it to function as an aesthetic piece even when not in use.

The Loom Chair is a winner of the Red Dot Design Concept Award for the year 2018.
