Moooi Knitty Lounge Chair

Product Description

The Moooi Knitty Lounge Chair -1 from Vintara Design is a replica of the iconic Knitty Lounge Chair, originally designed by Slovenian designer Nika Zupanc for Moooi in 2023. This chair is celebrated for its bold, larger-than-life design, blending scale, softness, and avant-garde aesthetics:

• Design: The Knitty Lounge Chair features an oversized silhouette inspired by giant ship mooring ropes, with extra-large "yarn" woven into a chunky basket weave pattern. The chair is upholstered in a knitted fabric with a quilted diamond pattern, enhancing its tactile quality and providing unparalleled softness. Its grand proportions and intricate weave create a sense of security and comfort, making it a conversation piece that transforms simple materials into something extraordinary [Web ID: 0] [Web ID: 2] [Web ID: 15].
• Materials:
  • Frame: Constructed with a wooden frame and steel springs, providing a sturdy base for the chair’s oversized design [Web ID: 14] [Web ID: 18].
  • Upholstery: Covered in Moooi’s Mosaic 2 fabric, available in 15 colors such as Citadel Grey, Pearl Taupe, and Charm Midnight, offering a refined palette to suit various decor styles [Web ID: 6] [Web ID: 14].
  • Padding: Filled with foam, ensuring a plush, comfortable seating experience that invites relaxation [Web ID: 14].
• Customization: Vintara Design offers customization options, allowing you to select from the 15 available colors to match your space, as noted in Moooi’s configurator for the original chair [Web ID: 2] [Web ID: 8].
• Versatility: Ideal for curling up with a book, watching a sunset, or daydreaming, this chair is perfect for modern living rooms, lounges, or creative spaces. It won the 2023 Best of Year Award in the residential lounge seating category by Interior Design, underscoring its design excellence [Web ID: 2] [Web ID: 19]. The Knitty Lounge Chair reflects Nika Zupanc’s approach to challenging the male-dominated furniture design market by emphasizing intuitive, eclectic, and imaginative elements over the technical and utilitarian, creating a piece that’s both functional and a work of art [Web ID: 2] [Web ID: 15].

Product Care Instructions

The Vintara Design page does not provide specific care instructions for this replica, but based on the materials described (Mosaic 2 knitted fabric, foam padding, wooden frame, and steel springs) and care guidelines for similar Moooi products, the following applies:

• Mosaic 2 Knitted Fabric Upholstery:
  • Cleaning: Gently vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove dust. For spills, spot-clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, blotting carefully to avoid damaging the fabric’s texture or quilted pattern. Use a fabric-safe cleaner for deeper stains, ensuring it’s suitable for knitted fabrics.
  • Maintenance: Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading, as knitted fabrics can be sensitive to UV exposure. Professional cleaning is recommended for heavy soiling to maintain the fabric’s softness and appearance. Rotate the chair periodically to ensure even wear.
• Foam Padding:
  • Cleaning: Spot-clean spills immediately with a dry cloth to prevent absorption. Avoid soaking, as foam can retain moisture and degrade.
  • Maintenance: Ensure proper ventilation to prevent mustiness. Fluff the padding occasionally to maintain shape.
• Wooden Frame and Steel Springs:
  • Cleaning: Dust the wooden frame with a dry cloth or clean with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, drying immediately to avoid moisture damage. Wipe the steel springs with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent, drying thoroughly to prevent corrosion.
  • Maintenance: Apply wood polish or wax to the frame every few months to maintain the finish. Avoid humid environments to prevent warping of the wood or rusting of the steel springs.
• General Tips:
  • Place the chair on a flat, stable surface to avoid structural stress.
  • Use a fabric protector spray designed for knitted fabrics to enhance stain resistance, testing first on a hidden area.
  • Vacuum or dust regularly to prevent dirt accumulation.
