Dygnet Chair

The Dygnet Chair is a collaboration together with furniture designer Taylor Gray (BFA 2018 FD, Rhode Island School of Design). Dygnet is made of wool and steel and can be understood as an illustration of its making. On a macro level, bold bending gestures create the backrest and seating surface. At the micro scale, the textile features steel wires of varying hardness and thickness integrated into the custom hand woven surfaces. Taken as a whole, these gestures and systems yield an innovative structure that is supple and inviting
