tom dixon | wingback micro chair | kvadrat gentle 2 | black 0193

Wingback is Tom Dixon's much appreciated armchair with its expressive sweeping curves that act as a sculptural intervention. This armchair is upholstered using Kvadrat's Gentle 2 wool fabric and features black oak legs. The wings provide convenient acoustic protection for mobile phone use and a headrest for quick snoozes.

Wingback was inspired by traditional 17th century Wingback and balloon-back archetypes, and was developed for Shoreditch House Members Club. Its expressive sweeping curves allows designers to specify Wingback in the centre of spaces as a sculptural intervention rather than merely a piece of seating. The wings provide convenient acoustic protection for mobile phone use and a headrest for quick snoozes.

Kvadrat Gentle 2 fabric
The textile is constructed by knitting loops through a base layer and subsequently shearing the surface. Thanks to a subtly striated surface which derives from the naturally irregular thicknesses of the woollen yarns, Gentle 2 features a rich surface with an elegant shine.

Gentle 2 has a particularly opulent feel as it is laminated on a 2mm PU foam with a polyester scrim backing. This ensures the textile stands out with a voluminous expression that sets it apart from traditional woven velvets.

60% new wool 20% polyester 20% nylon
