Milan Furniture Fair 2011 - Let the Insanity begin

The highlight of MFF2011- Loop


 Designer Sophie de Vocht, a design student awaiting graduation this spring. De Vocht said she wanted to create a piece with the same kind of tufting technique used in making carpets. Special equipment allowed her to loop material through a lattice-like structure, the knitted stocking-like material gradually becoming looser as it flows toward the feet. The designer said she wanted the piece to sit close to the ground — a nod to the carpet-making technique used to create the chair.
