Dezeen Showroom: British brand Morgan has used 3D knitting instead of conventional upholstery to achieve a striking look with the Aran lounge chair, which contrasts different densities of weave.

Morgan developed the Aran lounge chair with textile brand Camira, combining expertise to produce a knitted sleeve that is held in tension by a timber frame.

The chair was designed with the intent to eliminate waste – as the sleeve is knitted to fit – while creating a visually light chair that offers flexible support.

The chair is informed by the rich knitting traditions of the Aran Islands, off the coast of Ireland, and celebrates the craft by embracing the textures that different densities of knitting can create.

"The Aran lounge chair is a testament to the beauty and versatility of knit material, and we are confident it will make a striking addition to any space," said Morgan design director Erin Johnson.

The Aran lounge chair is made from a combination of renewable and recyclable materials, with a 100 per cent post-consumer recycled polyester used for the textile and beech, ash, oak or walnut timber used for the frame.
