YARN
by Mia Cullin for Materia
Yarn entangles nature and design
Designed from the heart and crafted by the hand, the guest and dining chair brings humanity back into furniture. Environmental impact and sustainability were central to the materials used to create Yarn. The mod physique and minimalist frame highlight the intricate hand-braided chair back detail crafted from hemp strings. The upholstered seat and back cushions are padded with a layer of hairlok – a mixture of horsehair and natural latex - and needle felt, felted from 100% Swedish sheep wool. Yarn's steel frame is built from recycled steel, and the plywood within the seat comes from responsibly managed forestry practices.
The functional beauty of Yarn continues to elevate the conversation about furniture design's impact on the environment. Fascinated with geometry and inspired by relief patterns, furniture designer Mia Cullin held equal value to materials, construction, and innovation when developing Yarn. Designed with no concealed truths, Yarn portrays the power of natural material and is the future of design.
