MissoniHome, the interior branch of the famous Italian fashion label Missoni, and the globally celebrated Dutch company of designer furniture Artifort were brought together by Jacco Bregonje, a Dutch designer who lives in Italy. They inspired each other to produce a unique innovative chair. The departure point being to co-develop an accessible chair with the comfort and quality of Artifort, dressed in an iconic Missoni Home patchwork fabric or a Missoni black and white space dyed seamless knit produced in collaboration with Stoll, the famous knitting machine producer. The result was the Patch One/Patch Two and the Patch Knit One/Patch Knit Two.Patch Knit One / Patch Knit TwoThe really unique feature of this design is the perfect fitting cover, a three-dimensional one-piece knit. It’s as if the chairs were wearing a close-fitting sweater that perfectly accentuates every curve. It’s an intriguing design with the cover following the organic lines of the shell and yet there is no visible stitching and not a drop of glue was used. The cover and the chair seem to be an inseparable whole. Another special fashion detail is the arm patch. This provides extra protection and an exciting graphical accent and is inspired by the leather arm patches.The Patch Knit One / Patch Knit Two is still a protoype, it will be made available for purchase in 2013
