The Poli Chair by Mikabarr and PRODUCKS
Created by textile designer Studio Mikabarr and design studio PRODUCKS, the Poli chair’s undulating seat is made from Studio Mikabar’s innovative 3D textiles.
The Poli chair will be presented at Design Museum Holon's latest exhibition entitled ‘Gathering – from domestic craft to contemporary process’.
The lounge chair is created from Studio Mikabarr’s unique 3D textile and will be shown at the Design Museum Holon exhibition as an example for the Folding category, which exhibits contemporary mathematical forms created by geometric curves.
The form is developed with a unique folding technique that creates a 3D structural element out of a flat pattern. The chair's trademark upholstery is replaced by an innovative printing technique, fashioned from a single textile spread.
Mikabarr and PRODUCKS have collaborated on a number of multidisciplinary projects, creating a language which gives equal attention to product structure and surface. This is the first time Poli is being exhibited.
