Full braiding on warp and weft for the cellulose rope version; or the very elegant version with leather scooby braiding, which reveals its character only at close quarters.
The most avant-garde version is CARBON FROG: the design and the research into materials remain the same, with braiding in flat Nylon collar rope. Black.
The starting point was a 3D scan of the original version; a number of assembly options compatible with Carbon were evaluated, and specific software was used to create the mould for the chair. The mould is made from aluminium, using 5-axis numerical control cutting, and polished to give the Carbon an initial surface finish.The structure of the chair, made by highly qualified personnel, is entirely hand-worked with multiaxial and unidirectional fabrics, superimposed orthogonally, to make the structure more rigid, preserving strength and reducing weight.
Developed using a 2/3 mm thick circular tubular, the structure has been reinforced at the points of highest stress and has undergone a curing cycle in a high-temperature autoclave at constant pressure.
