Dutch Artist Geke Wouters's love for fabrics and clothing is obvious in her work. Designed by Wouters and produced by Cropus Interieur Vormen, the Clavicula sofa, is developed from concrete-iron and 27 meters of white terry, cut into strips. The cotton ‘bandages’ are sewn together to create a single thread from which a carpet is knitted using a mammoth pair of knitting needles crafted from 2 x 2 meter broomsticks. The ‘carpet’ is upholstered around the concrete-iron frame.
Handcrafted, one-of-kind items are key to contemporary decor. So use common techniques in new ways. Rethink knitted items. Enlarge it. Extend. Expand and magnify, the materials and tools to cover furniture and accessories in their own bespoke knits.
