The frame of the chair is made entirely of felt saturated with epoxy resin. As a textile not usually used in furniture, felt is put to new use here. The flexible back of the chair is covered with quilted upholstery in light lavender, that is fastened to the frame with metal snaps, and can be adjusted to bring the arms of the chair closer to the user for a more enveloping experience, or to spread them out, like a throne. The thick felt for the base of the chair is soaked in a higher proportion of resin than the top of the chair, so that the top remains bendable to fold around the user while the base becomes stiff. The felt is then hardened in a mold and colored, and the base and back of the chair are laced together with twine.
The chair is in good condition. The uphosltery is perfect, the felt frame has some wear at the backside, as visible in the pictures.
The seller assumes all responsibility for this listing.
