The Rope Chair, a cantilever chair created by renowned design brothers Erwan and Ronan Bouroullec for Artek, is a fascinating blend of traditional seating and artwork. Its unique design with ropes that act as back and armrests, molds to the body and changes appearance depending on the sitting position, physique and movements. Made with a structure of powder-coated metal and a seating surface of molded veneer, it is precisely the rope that is at the heart of its construction and aesthetics, which can be made of linen or polyester.
