'quilt, the thing' by ronan and erwan bouroullec for established & sons

elaborating on their 'quilt' series for british design and manufacturing company established & sons,
the french design duo of ronan and erwan bouroullec introduce a new colorway for the seating designs.
the honeycomb-like upholstery made from hi-tech stretch fabric, stuffed with individual foam inserts
fits over the chair or sofa's fibreglass structure. the mathematical patchwork aesthetic in combination
with this new color blend of grey and red, is reminiscent of popular comic book superheroes and
their sometimes chameleonic skin.
