The Hemp Chair
The Hemp Chair is a tensile structure made inhabitable.
It is held by forces rather than parts — fibre under load, gravity negotiated, surface behaving as structure. There is no hidden frame, no hierarchy between skin and support. What carries the body is the continuous redistribution of tension.
The chair resists closure.
Fibre remains legible. Irregularities persist.
The object does not resolve into perfection, but into stability; a structure that supports without asserting dominance.

Lineage.
Hemp Chair follows the formal lineage of the Counterpoise Chair, embodying the same structural concept through a different material ethics, with the loom as a quiet reference.

This chair is part of an ongoing material research, testing for the most effective configuration.
