Sofa of Knots

Material:pvc
Size:1200*1400mm

 

Chinese knots have appeared throughout its long history in garments, homes, armaments, carriages and horses. They have played a functional, decorative and even symbolic role. We have rediscovered Chinese knots that have lost much of their use today.

We realised that the appeal of the knot lies in the sublimated use of a dry two-dimensional material (a rope). And our design was based on this thought, to see if we could build on this and give it a new use. So we came up with inflatable.
