Phantom Hands X+L 11 Fabric easy chair without armrests

The X+L 11 lounge chair echoes classic mid-century design and is constructed with traditional woodworking joineries.‎ The upholstery fabric is a cotton/silk blend called 'Thasra'.‎ The chair is available in two combinations of paired fabric colour and wood shade.‎ The two combinations are Night Sky fabric colour (dark blue) + Burnt Cobalt Coir wood finish or Sequoia fabric colour (rust) + Dark Teak wood finish.‎ The fabric used for the chairs is a cotton/silk blend produce by our fabric collaborator Zanav Home.‎ It is made up of a very coarse open end cotton yarn plied with hand spun silk yarn to compensate for the lack of strength of the cotton yarn.‎ The silk yarn is made from mulberry silk waste which gives it a unique and uneven texture.‎ The yarns are dyed to achieve the desired colours and woven on primitive looms whose frames are sunken in the ground.‎ These pit looms are ideal for weaving fabrics like Thasra as the ground absorbs the tension of the heavy weaving, which is not possible with conventional looms.‎ The process of spinning to weaving to finishing is done entirely by hand which translates into the character of the fabric.‎ Inconsistencies in colour and texture are characteristic of this fabric.‎ Wood finish: Natural Teak / Dark Stain / Burnt Cobalt Coir  Fabric: Thasra Night Sky / Seqoia The X+L collection consists of objects designed by Dutch design duo Xander Vervoort and Leon van Boxtel.‎ The objects in this collection are inspired by X+L's interest in art and architecture, as well as their deep appreciation of simple, honest materials and structures.‎ X+L’s distinctive aesthetic, recycling and zero waste are important themes in the creation of some of the objects in this collection.‎ Further info from manufacturer on X+L 11 Phantom Hands
