The Springtime Chair by Frank Winnubst came into being after the Dutch designer realized that many chairs and seating solutions are made comfortable by having an upholstered construction over springs. This led to research into finding the most comfortable and functional kind of spring.
Thus, after a long search the Springtime Chair by Frank Winnubst (made out of bedsprings) emerged. The chair was formed in an almost organic nature as Winnubst allowed the springs to determine the form of the chair. To ensure that your bottom would not feel the colf, hard metal springs Winnubst knitted a cover for the top layer himself.
