Knotted Lounge Chair
Marcel Wanders designed the Knotted Chair in 1996 as part of the Droog Design collective, and it has since become one of the most culturally resonant objects in late-twentieth-century furniture history. Its silhouette borrows from macramé and domestic handcraft traditions. Its construction is something else entirely.
Each chair is made from aramid braided cord with a carbon fiber core. Every knot is tied by hand, then saturated with epoxy resin. The piece is suspended and left to cure, with gravity, not a mold, determining the final form. The result is a rigid, self-supporting structure that holds the visible memory of its own making.
- Aramid cord with carbon fiber core
- Hand-knotted construction
- Epoxy resin hardening process
- Gravity-cured, no mold used
- Produced by Cappellini since 1996
