Exploring the properties of yarns for the collection of designer chairs

The chair as a style icon is a part of the seating furniture. Through the 20th century, the development of the chair is accelerated by the emergence of new technologies, using new methods and experimental materials (metal pipes, wire and later veneer plates, etc.). The adjustable ergonomically designed chair at this time becomes more versatile in its shape for each function. The experimental part of this paper consists of the selection of yarns, measurement of yarn properties important for the design of chairs, selection of optimal yarn and design of chair including the development of new product. For the purpose of chair design are selected different yarns from the market. The yarns are selected by textile designer, based on the appearance and without restrictions related to the yarn characteristics. The yarn properties, among which the fineness, breaking force, breaking elongation and abrasion, are investigated and the optimal yarn for the design of chair is selected. After that, the development of the designer's chair collection began with restauration of the useless metal construction of an old chair. Own concepts were created, tempting the limits of creativity. In the next step, the uneven surface of applied fancy yarn increased the attractiveness of chair. In the paper are described all the steps in design of "RE chair", as well as its particularities i.e. the fact that the "RE chair" moves the boundaries in aesthetic appearance with the possibility of repeating the design and becoming an individual experiment.
