Milan 2010: London designer Benjamin Hubert will present a range of brightly-coloured seating covered in patchwork fabric at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan next week.

Called Patch, the collection of chairs and stools will be presented with Swedish brand Blå Station.

The fabric on the seats are upholstered on a plywod shell and supported by bent steel legs.

This new range has been developed from Hubert's earlier prototypes of Diamond Chair (see our earlier story).

Patch comprises of a patchwork fabric upholstered onto a plywood shell supported by CNC formed steel legs.

Patch is inspired by the language of flat metal work construction used in civil engineering.

The patchwork upholstery detail references industrial sheet steel panel riveting with the flatwork steel completing the relationship.

The range was developed from earlier prototypes of ‘diamond chair’ exhibited in London and Cologne in 2008.
