"When it comes to furniture design, lightness is usually a metaphor. For Isomi's Knit One Chair, designed by Paul Crofts, it's a material reality. Gone are the layers of foam and heavy upholstery. In their place, a 3D-knitted skin is all that's needed to balance comfort, structure, and sustainability in equal measure. Removing the materials that traditionally add plushness might sound counterintuitive, but Knit One proves that comfort doesn't rely on excess - it comes from smart design."
"The chair's knitted sleeve is made from Camira's SEAQUAL® Collection, a textile crafted from post-consumer marine plastic waste - up to 35 recycled bottles per meter. The material is shaped using advanced 3D knitting technology, which eliminates excess fabric waste and ensures precise construction. Fully recyclable and replaceable, the sleeve extends the chair's lifespan while removing the need for adhesives or foam."
Knit One Chair replaces foam and heavy upholstery with a 3D-knitted skin that balances comfort, structure, and sustainability. The knit sleeve is woven with mono-filament structural fibers and uses Camira's SEAQUAL® Collection made from post-consumer marine plastic waste—up to 35 recycled bottles per meter. Advanced 3D knitting eliminates excess fabric waste and yields precise construction. The sleeve is fully recyclable and replaceable, removing adhesives and foam and extending product lifespan. A lightweight metal frame bolts together on site, enables flat-pack shipping to reduce carbon footprint, and supports a modular, fully reversible seating system with multiple configurations.
