Designed for a Tapestry Exhibit
Minimal wooden frames are made from 12 identical members of ash wood domino jointed together flush at the corners. These frames are then infilled with woven, hand dyed, heavy-weight cotton webbing creating a modular seating system. The woven seat is a synthesis of 6 different edges created from a continuous strip of webbing. Together the minimal frames and woven seat result in an extremely lightweight seat that accommodates multiple viewing styles: it can easily be moved by a viewer trying to get a closer look at a piece of art, or assemble as part of a group.
