Benjamin Hubert of experience design agency Layer has designed a new living collection in close collaboration with Moroso. Cradle is a new family of products that launched at Salone del Mobile in April 2016 and Clerkenwell Design Week.
We really love the high and Low -back chairs, each of which were inspired by the studio’s research into the construction of mesh materials and how traditional product typologies can be re-imagined to enhance performance.
Technological textiles
The Cradle collection utilises a new three-dimensional stretch textile developed by Layer with an Austrian textile factory. The knitted textile has high strength but low density, meaning it can offer the necessary support using a fraction of the material of a traditional mesh. The mesh comprises Trevira CS for support and polypropylene for elasticity.
