CROSSHATCH By Herman Miller
Using a minimum of materials in a maximally inventive way, the Crosshatch chair and ottoman employ both handcraft and technology to achieve alluringly refined results. Designed by EOOS, the Vienna-based studio that has received more than 70 international awards, including the coveted Italian Compasso d’Oro, the Crosshatch chair is lightweight and transparent, extremely easy to pull up for a desk-side chat, or, when paired with the ottoman, to relax around a cocktail table.
Parachute cords, a common industrial product, are an integral part of the chair’s design. Pulled down, the cords create a system of internal tension and supply the necessary back support, creating the feeling of being enclosed in a comforting, protective nest. The parachute cord is available in several colours, the frame in a selection of natural woods. Because of their simple, classic profiles, the Crosshatch chair and ottoman can work in a broad range of environments, from an executive office or a reception area to a penthouse or suburban living room.
A welcome extension of the Crosshatch Chair family, it seats up to two people. The settee is available in a wide selection of wood frame finishes, upholstery options and cord colours.
