SLOWLY FALLING FOR AN ULTRA MODERN KNIT LOUNGE CHAIR!

Hive - Slow Chair - $3155 (Design Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, 2007. Metal frame, aluminum legs, knit fabric.Made in Germany by Vitra) (above)

Love this chair. Made out of a metal frame with a high tech knit mesh fabric stretched over it like a nylon stocking. Love the clean lines...airy light feel due to the translucent knit fabric...and surprisingly for me, in this case, I even like the soft blush pink color. It comes in other colors too.

Made for Vitra by two brothers...here's how Vitra's website describes this well designed armchair:

"Thanks to the knit sling cover, the Slow Chair combines soft comfort with ergonomic support, which is further enhanced by thin seat and back cushions. The translucent sling cover replaces the thick cushions of traditional armchairs, resulting in a design that is lightweight, yet generously proportioned. The restrained appearance of the Slow Chair is equally appealing in the living room or winter garden, while offering unrestrained seating comfort."

This is one of those items I can see playing a leading role in any home...could be paired in a classic living room with more traditional pieces of furniture or in a sleek all white modern minimalist home. The more I look...the more I like it!
