I have never seen a chair that looks quite like The Loop Chair. This chair was designed by Dutch design student Sophie de Vocht as a hybrid chair/rug.
The Loop Chair is made out of 1,000 feet of yarn, wrapped around wired mesh. More than half of the chair lies sprawled out on the floor, while the other half is more put together and has a more conventional look. The Loop Chair may look loopy, but it is actually being put into production next year by the Italian company Casmania.
