︎Created at the Santoni Pioneer Program with production support from Hanbing Liu. By accessing Santoni's unique tubular knitting technology, we made a one-of-a-kind seamless fabric with a sense of 3D volume. The fabric acts as a skin to the chair by covering it, and the bumpy muscle pattern of the fabric becomes the ornaments of the chair and therefore visually alters its shape. It is inspired by the concept of displacement texture from the 3D content creation, and this is our attempt to sculpt an object in the real world with the digital approach.
