Timothy John, mastermind chair, industrial synthetic felt, wire and steel framing., >From the woven series, the Woven series is comprised of experimentation around hand weaving and wrapping techniques. The concept was initially inspired by a previously designed steel wire ball pendant light shade. The wire, when handled, naturally fell into a ball-like structure, which then later became the technique used to create the framework for the Genius and Mastermind chairs.
An interest in creating texture through weaving is also a key component in the series. Industrial synthetic felt, intended for lining nautical vessels is cut and sewn into strips then woven around the steel framework to form a unique covering.
