1996·Macramé of carbon fibers and epoxy-coated aramid fibers·73.1 × 52.8 × 635 cm (28 3/4 × 20 3/4 × 250 in.)

<p>Marcel Wanders is well known for his innovative designs that redefine archetypes of form and function through the use of new processes and materials. Knotted Chair, designed for the Dutch group Droog Design, in collaboration with the faculty of aviation at Delft Technical University, was the first project by Wanders to attract international interest. Constructed to resemble hand-knotted macramé, the chair is actually made from aramid fibers twisted around a carbon core and filled with epoxy resin, resulting in an incredibly strong and durable object.</p>
