The Garment Chair by Benjamin Hubert is an experimentation in designing an armchair that requires no stitching at all. The harder interior is covered completely by fabric, and can be undressed at any moment.
According to a description by Benjamin Hubert, "The chair is a study into how to ’dress’ a piece of furniture defying the conventional rules and construction of typical upholstery." The idea of furniture being covered in a type of dress is new to many individuals, and Hubert does a great job of experimenting with furniture design.
For those who don't dress chairs very often, there could be a few problems with putting the textiles back on, so be sure to keep track of your steps!
