Pocket Chair is a project carried out during a textile experimentation course. The brief was to create an object based on the theme of “Deployment.” We came up with the idea of making a chair using resin-coated fabric. Instead of using fabric for its material qualities and flexibility, we used it as an assembly of knots; by rigidifying the base material, we created a strong, rigid panel. We therefore sewed four layers of fabric and then applied seven layers of resin. The resin-coated fabric panels were then slipped over the chair structure like a sock. It is a chair for children—a small portable playground—because once folded, it fits into a tote bag.
