The very beginning of the slow chair was the fascination for knitted textile. We were expecting a lot from this material, many performances in terms of stretching and maintain at the same time. We had this intuition that this precise textile would be able to carry a body while taking its shape with a certain subtlety. Here, form and material are very much interrelated.
