Olivia Lee decided that the three old chairs and the table she had kicking around would look really great if they were joined together. Taking the creative idea into her own hands, she knit a large array of yarn that would ensure the uniqueness of each chair was kept alive while at the same time providing a touch of classic luxury. Lee and her colleague Alienor de Chambrier made the “Stream of Light” set pictured which earned them a nomination for a major design award.
