Sponge chair silver designer: Peter Traag design year: 2004 manufacturer: Edra, Italy materials: polyurethane fill; cover in Trivera fabric (fluorocarbon polyester thread) notes: The "Sponge" chair represents the debut of young Dutch designer Peter Traag, a graduate of London's Royal College. Its shape, inspired by sea sponges, is the result of a technological innovation that allows it to obtain a firm yet invitingly soft seat. Polyurethane foam has been injected directly into an overly large "upholstery" shell, which has been reinforced by a special fluorocarbon polyester thread. This production technique results in a unique chair, forming "elephant-skin" random folds that mimic a well-worn classic armchair. dimensions: 33.5" x 37", height: 29.5" price: $8,200.00
