This lightweight chair combines industrial techniques and handcrafting. A thread constructed of aramid and carbon fibres, is knotted into the shape of a chair and then impregnated with epoxy resin and hung in a frame to dry, leaving the final form in the hands of gravity. The Knotted Chair was designed by Marcel Wanders in 1996 and iconic for the start of his career.

Nowadays the Knotted Chair is part of the permanent collections of the MoMa museum in New York, the V&A museum in London and the Stedelijk museum in Amsterdam.

Some pieces in this Da Capo al Coda Gallery are designed by Marcel Wanders and are unique. Some are art pieces. We do not guarantee the well-functioning of the item. Read more.
