In the latest Design Dreams video produced by Dezeen for Moooi, Nika Zupanc describes how her Knitty Chair takes inspiration from huge mooring ropes for ships.
The Knitty Chair is an armchair with a chunky basket-weave design resembling a knotted rope.
The chair is upholstered in a knitted fabric that features a quilted diamond pattern.
Zupanc, a designer from Slovenia, explained the nautical inspiration behind the design in an exclusive video interview shot by Dezeen.
“It was inspired by these very big ropes with which very big ships are tied to the ports,” she said.
“It is trying to change the perspective on things, playing with the scale that we are used to see in our everyday lives.”
