Embroidery Chair (small armchair) in numbered edition is designed by Johan Lindstén for Cappellini with frame in solid ash and back in poplar plywood with ash veneer, with fabric cover with woollen cross-stitch embroidery in 4 design variants one for each season; back padding in polyurethane foam black plastic feet.
Fixed combinations of finishes on structure and embroidery on back: bleached ash with spring embroidery, red aniline stained ash with summer embroidery, walnut stained ash with autumn embroidery, black-stained ash with winter embroidery.
Wood finish and back pattern combinations are standard.
A year-long story. That spans a lifetime. Johan Lindstén captures the beauty of the seasons in autumn, winter, spring, and summer sceneries depicted across the backrest of the poetic Embroidery Chair; cross-stitched, the sublime synthesis between traditional embroidery techniques that have been passed down for generations and state-of-the-art industrial technology. The quiet attentiveness of deer in the wild, the playfulness of polar bears, the ephemeral flight of butterflies, the elegant grace of flamingos: stitched with electronic machinery that effectively reproduces the manual cross-stitching technique using wool thread. The structure of the Embroidery Chair is made of ash wood stained in hues that set off the scene; a walnut finish for autumn, bleached wood for spring, black for winter and red for summer. “Scandinavian personality, Italian quality”: these are the words of designer Johan Lindstén to explain the secret behind the success of the Embroidery Chair, a comfortable ergonomic seat that is an enchanting accent to enliven a room.
Immediately after completing his studies, Johan Lindstén founded his own design studio in Stockholm, in 2008. The broad array of Lindstén’s creations ranges from the design of limited edition products (often sold to museums) and high-tech accessories for everyday use such as his sound-absorbing products for Apple, or designer furniture and furnishing elements.
