The Idea of Chair
These chairs are interesting to me, not because of their construction technique — sewn threads that create backs and seats — but because of how the sides/arms are a simple, non-descript square shape that is then defined by a pattern or line drawn on the side. You could essentially draw whatever chair profile you like on the side of this chair, melding their images together in a viewer’s mind. It would almost create an optical illusion, which profile (real or drawn) is the real chair?
