Growing up, a baseball glove chair was the ultimate dream. In retrospect, the desire for a comfortable brown leather arm chair would have been more appropriate, and simply a little more refined. Sponge Chair is the debut of a young Dutch designer Peter Traag. He studied 3D design in Arnhaem and design products at the Royal College of Art, graduating in 2003. Created by foaming the polyurethane directly in the upholstery, lined with a special polyester yarn fabric with a “flucarbon” finish.
The upholstery, cut to oversize, crinkles during the cooling phase to adapt to the polyurethane shape, forming unique wrinkles that create an irregular pattern on the armchair. Its shape, inspired by sea sponges, is the result of a technological innovation that allows it to obtain a firm yet invitingly soft seat. This production technique results in a unique chair, forming “elephant-skin” random folds that mimic a well-worn classic armchair.
Size: 33.5″ x 37″, height 29.5″. Price: $9,330.
