springtime chair - view of all the layers of springs

designer frank winnubst has concluded that the most comfortable chairs to sit in are usually
those which have an upholstered construction involving springs. so, he researched various types
of springs to develop a chair with optimum seating comfort, letting the function determine the form.
through the process, his chair 'springtime' has became rather large and bulky in its cubic form.
to ensure that the springs would not be hard and cold upon the user's body, winnubst knit covers
for the top layer of springs.
