Nika Zupanc’s Knitty Chair for Moooi “plays with scale“ | Design Dreams | Dezeen

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.“ Read more on Dezeen: WATCH NEXT: Paul Cocksedge’s chandelier for Moooi is “shaped by gravity“ - Subscribe to our YouTube channel for the latest architecture and design movies
