Femme Chair
















This chair is designed by Rik ten Velden. Bearing the name of “Femme Chair”, this chair is constructed from a single rope. Rick ten Velden is fascinated with sailor’s knots and all the different objects knots can create. He spent three months learning how to knot before he perfected the technique. Then he started the Single Knotted Collection, and is currently making objects all using these knot techniques. The seat of this chair is made of classic rope, and the rest is made of a single metal rod that curves into two circles, one to support the bottom and the other to support the seat. I love the simplicity of the two materials and how they work together. The use of rope in the seat also ensures durability.
