Cologne 2011: French designer Eléonore Nalet presented this chair with long cushions woven through its metal frame at imm cologne in Germany last month.
Called Serpentine, the design turns metal outdoor seating into a cosy cocoon for long summer evenings.
imm cologne took place 18-23 January. See all our coverage of the event »
The details below are from Eléonore Nalet:
Serpentine is an armchair designed for sitting outside all year long. The delicate metallic structure reminds one of winter vegetation. When Summer comes back, Serpentine is dressed with long colored cushions that entwine the backrest and armrests supports.
You can still glimpse the underlying metal frame, but your body will never feel its touch. The weaving creates a comfortable and welcoming irregular upholstery.
Materials - metal frame, outdoor textile (Sunbrella), and foam.
Dimensions - W80 , H72- seat 40, D55

reminds me of Boa by Campana bros for Edra, my favorite 'sofa' ever
like the low tech approach, but the frame is boring and there's no cushioning at the top, just bare metal.
Very clever. Love the studio/process photo.
it reminds me the Bouroulec sofa..so inspiring
Love the plump weaving, incredibly clever.
