Graduate designer Charlotte Kingsnorth has designed a chair made from a single sheet of folded felt.
Called Felt Up, the chair is made of 16mm thick industrial felt on a steel frame.
Kingsnorth also designed the At One chair in our previous story. Both were exhibited at New Designers in London last month.

Love the shape of it but do have to wonder how it would hold up over time.

looks sooo comfy!!! wish it can be produced mass market through a deal with Target or something, this will totally make me happy as my all-in-one chair, sleep-read-music-snack chair.. sigh…

The exposed piece of horizontal base bothers me and why the base couldn’t be a trapezoid in shape instead of a rectangle to follow the contours of the felt.

The seat has a nice feel yet the rest of it is extremely unrefined. More time needs to be spent working on a more sensitive and cohesive base: at present it looks like an afterthought rather than being part of the total concept.

Nice and Simple!
The way things should be…
I don’t know about the durability

it looks like comfortable but otherwise feeling like worn surface when touched that.
