Draped with Kvadrat wool and stitched entirely by hand, the armchair reads as a garment suspended from a rigid structure. Quilted vertical channels follow the contours of the seat and back, while extended side panels fall toward the floor, framing the body within a softened enclosure. The black piping traces the edges of the textile, clarifying its outline against the underlying frame.
The quilting provides comfort at the seat and back, while the frame remains legible beneath the wool. Structure and textile coexist without concealment, the garment shaping both the form and the experience of the chair.
