ShapeKnit Sail

SAIL is a knitted structure developed for backrest applications, characterised by a calm yet expressive surface with an airy appearance and excellent stretch. The knit combines a matte base with a subtle sheen, giving task chairs a refined and welcoming character. A pixelated zone design introduces texture and visual detail, while the contrasting front and back create two distinct expressions within the same structure. The result is a backrest solution that adds depth and variation to chair designs. Weight: 659 g/m2 (21,26 oz/yd2)

Calm at first glance. Rich in detail.

SAIL creates a calm and welcoming chair expression, where subtle details add character rather than noise. The pixelated knit introduces a gentle play of texture, while the contrasting front and back offer natural variation and visual depth within a clean, cohesive design.
