Description
Knot cushion is made from a knitted tube, several metres in length, which is tied up to create a compact knot which is as comfortable as it is elegant to behold. Sit on it. Bounce on it. Rest on it. Or just leave it right in the middle of the floor as a sculpture. This is a material mix of 30% wool and 70% acrylic.
Ragnheiður Ösp Sigurðardóttir’s Knot cushion belongs to the exclusive group of products that remain in one’s memory. The design is so strong that it can live its own life independent of the actual product of which it forms a part. This is true of Alvar Aalto’s Savoy vase and it may very well become true of the Knot cushion too.
“I have always been attracted to strange and unique things,” Ragnheiður Ösp Sigurðardóttir explains as she talks about how she developed the idea of Knot. “I try to create unusual designs; products that are unpredictable and that make people curious.”
