Rag Chair by Tejo Remy

Rag Chair by Tejo Remy

Unique chair made of layers of recycled clothing and secured with industrial metal pull straps transforms discarded textiles into a functional seating.

Rag Chair designed by Tejo Remy was presented in 1991 as part of his graduation project at the University of the Arts in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

Each fabric layer hints at a previous life, making the Rag Chair not just a seat, but a compressed archive of anonymous human narratives.

Unlike conventional upholstery, which conceals the inner workings beneath a pristine surface, the Rag Chair reveals everything.

The brilliance of the Rag Chair lies in its construction: stacks of worn clothes bound tightly with metal pull straps.
