ShapeKnit Lift

LIFT is a knitted structure developed for backrest applications, defined by an expressive all-over 3D knit with strong visual depth and presence. The geometric pattern creates a cushioned, quilted look and feel, adding volume and character without appearing heavy or “over-designed”. Engineered as a heavyweight, three-layer knitted performance fabric, LIFT delivers a distinct sense of comfort and substance. The consistent colour expression on both front and back supports a clean and balanced appearance across the chair. Weight: 1000 g/m2 (32,25 oz/yd2)

Sculptural volume with visual depth

LIFT brings a bold and tactile dimension to chair design. The 3D structure creates depth and naturally draws the eye (as well as the hand), giving the backrest a sculptural quality that stands out in the space. The pattern remains controlled and balanced, making LIFT suitable for design-led task seating with strong visual presence.

Cushioned comfort in a self-supportive structure

Developed for self-supportive backrest applications, LIFT combines volume and comfort in one integrated knitted solution. The three-layer construction provides a cushioned feel without the need for additional foam. Knitted as a mono-material structure from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester, LIFT supports a streamlined build-up, consistent performance in everyday use and minimal material waste during production.
