LITTLE FELLOW

BRUNNER STUDIO & Ditte Maigaard har designet stolen Little Fellow, som vil blive introduceret på Stockholm Furniture Fair 2010, 9.-13. Feb, Stand Num:V04:30.

Little Fellow stolen er en undersøgelse af atypiske materialer og innovative polstringsteknikker. Designerne havde en vision om at skabe et skulpturelt, æstetisk og taktilt siddeobjekt med stor personlighed, der med sit enkle udtryk, ville tale til følelserne og berøringslysten. Heraf også navnet Little Fellow.

Stolens stel er dækket af tykt maritimt reb, som gør overfladen tekstureret og varm. Polstringen giver en illusion om, at stolen udelukkende består af reb. Dette er også ført videre i udviklingen af sædet. Med inspiration fra traditionelle børstenbindingsteknikker, er sædet polstret af få centimeterlange stykker reb, som er trukket ned i et gitter af huller i træsædet. Rebet kan udskiftes med andre farver og materialer og der kan derved skabes mønstre, som kan ændre det overordnede indtryk drastisk. Konstruktionen muliggør derfor at stolen kan customizes i utallige variationer.

Både Sofie Brünner fra BRUNNER STUDIO og Ditte Maigaard har en baggrund som tekstildesignere og arbejder i krydsfeltet mellem tekstil- og møbeldesign. Det er i dette krydsfelt, de udnytter deres kendskab til materialer, konstruktion og overflader for at skabe innovative designobjekter der tager traditionelle teknikker ud over kanten.

LITTLE FELLOW

tirsdag den 19. januar 2010

BRUNNER STUDIO and Ditte Maigaard have designed the chair Little Fellow that will be launched at the Stockholm Furniture Fair 2010, 9-13 Feb.

The Little Fellow Chair is an exploration in unusual materials and innovative ways of upholstering. The designers intention was to create an object that affects people in a profound, unique and personal way, which makes the viewer want to touch and explore the object. The name Little Fellow refers to the similarities to a distinguished little friend.

The frame is covered in thick nautic rope, which makes all surfaces textured and warm, while making the chair appear as if it was ”made entirely of rope”. This concept is also used in creating the seat pad. Constructed with a traditional brush binding technique, the upholstery of the seat consists of a few centimeter long pieces of rope-ends pulled into a grid of holes in the timber seat. The rope-ends can be exchanged and different colours added to create patterns. This construction allows for client customisation and personality, while it expresses a wonderful tactile sensation.

Both Sofie Brünner of BRUNNER STUDIO and Ditte Maigaard have backgrounds as textile designers and work in the crossfield between textiles and furniture design. They utilise their knowledge of materials, construction and texture to make innovative products that explore tradition taken to the edge.
