Not sure what to think about this...

Richard Hutten's Layers Cloud Chair for Kvadrat was presented in Copenhagen today. The chair, of which there is only one piece, has 545 layers of wool and weighs 250kg. It's made of Divina fabric by Kvadrat and will cost between 200,000 and 300,000 euros.

From Kvadrat:

Richard Hutten’s Layers Cloud Chair uses 840 square metres of Divina, weighing a total of almost 300 kilos. Based on an earlier design, he has layered up the fabric to showcase the Divina colour range. “The Layers Clouds Chair shows off the beautiful colours available in the Divina fabric, and was inspired by the Painted Desert in Arizona,” he explains.

Almost 100 colours were used in 545 layers to create the chair. Due to the nature of the fabric the lower part of the chair is looser, with a compact and solid top. Each layer of the chair was drawn separately, the colours carefully selected, individually cut and applied by hand.

“I wanted the design to be about Divina,” says Hutten. “Rather than using the material as a cover, I created an object with the material. Divina has so many intrinsic qualities of tactility, depth and colour and my design maximises the impact of these.”
