PHAT KNITS: Artistic, Unusual and Unique Furniture by Bauke Knottnerus
Antique furniture totes up the grace of home décor and imparts a modish touch to any house. Today, antique items not only hold the interest of the true art aficionados, but are also a rave among many urban homemakers, mainly due to the easy availability of various antique replicas and reproductions in the market. Design by Dutch designer, Bauke Knottnerus presents a unique joining of art in furniture in his work called “PHAT KNITS”.
On first glance it appears to be designed as furniture for seating, but upon further inspection you can see its resemblance to oversized knitted pieces. The intent was to shape textiles through the use of PVC needles as part of a material design. It has been lauded by observers as furniture in some cases and others as decorative art. [via]
