The Soft Chair by Maria Bruun made its impressive debut during Salone del Mobile 2013. The Danish designer's chic and comfortable chair features a textured concept that was achieved with the use of soft roped materials. The designer cleverly constructed the seater using 300 meters of upholstered rope that was woven to create its soft and texture-enriched form.
Inspired by the idea of 'soft spaces' the Soft Chair by Maria Brunn explores the relationship between space and textile and seeks to understand how the two become one entity.
This elegant furniture piece is sure to appeal to design buffs with a love of modernity. Displaying a clean and linear form, this chair mixes its angular framing along with a soft upholstery showcased in a concrete grey tone.
