Danish design duo Komplot is the first to create an industrially produced chair made strictly from textile. The chair Nobody is molded in one piece and in one single process resulting in a simple, light weight and stackable chair meeting modern demands of sustainability in both materials and production.
In its form Nobody refers to a piece of cloth laid over a chair to cover and protect it. As the chair underneath the cover is removed the cover ‘remembers’ the shape of the chair and it has become the bearing structure of the chair itself. Hence the name – NOBODY or NO BODY. At the same time the name refers to the “shadow” side of a chair while not in use.The cover blurs the shape of the chair and at the same time makes an allusion to it…
But on this “cover” one can sit without the “chair” underneath. The cover is empty – the chair is taken away, but cloth still remembers the chair and keeps the shape of it.
Using a technique borrowed from the car industry Nobody is manufactured from two layers of thermo pressed PET felt – a 100 % recyclable material made from used water- and soda bottles. The production process neither demands an internal frame, plastic, screws, glue or other reinforcements.
NOBODY is produced in one single process by thermo pressing the polymer fibre – PET felt mat (without any kind of the frame).
The production process neither demands any additives like glues or resins, nor any additional materials like screws or reinforcements. PET felt is 100% recyclable material produced mainly of used soda/water bottles.
Light and stackable, NOBODY can be used in both public and residential interiors.
Good air circulation, perfect acoustic properties of the PET felt and easiness of cleaning give additional qualities to the chair.
