Story
Weaving as the starting point
Poliform says that in Marcel Wanders' Mad Out Collection, outdoor furniture is reinterpreted with sophisticated weaving techniques. The armchair is credited to Studio Marcel Wanders and dated 2023.
A rope backrest that echoes the sofa
The page notes that the armchair, with its compact dimensions and wrap-around lines, carries a hand-woven rope backrest like the sofa of the same name, a detail it says shows a great deal of technical skill.
