alvisilkchair is featured "Eco Design Furniture" Ivy Liu & Jian Wong
"The alvisilkchair is a piece of environmentally friendly seating made from silk threads tightened around a bearing oak fram. The focal point of the chair is the transparency , which creates new forms and brings forth a perception of weightlessness , while the light produces new shadow plays from the alvisilkchair´s threadwork.
Long-staple silk, is an extremely strong and durable natural fiber, as demonstrated by the fact that there are very old and well preserved qin instruments still in existence today . These qualities and the fact that silk also has relatively low environmental impact explain the designer´s choice of the material for her alvisilkchair."
