Imagine a chair with fluid-like geometry that perfectly cradled your butt as if you were a baby. Introducing the Yarra Sling Chair, the first of several collaborations with Ink & Spindle.
The Yarra sling chair started life years ago as idea between friends at a collab workshop. Life happened and people drifted apart and the prototype sat dusty in the loft for a few years. Enter: the team from Ink & Spindle who’d wandered past our workshop in early ’23 and dropped in to discuss another project. While we were all chatting and sketching the sling chair model was brought down for one reason or another instantly piqued interest!
We worked with the Ink & Spindle team to refine the chair design and pair it with a sturdy yet cozy heavyweight washed linen sling. The real genius here is the sliding dowel fixing for the sling which allows it to be easily removed and washed, or changed out for a different style.
The timber frame comes in 2 options; Tasmanian Blackwood (as shown) or American Oak. If you have a specific species you’d like to work with please advise in the comment section of the contact form and we’ll make it happen.
The fabric sling comes in 6 options. Simply note your fabric of choice in the comment section.
If you’d like to see for your self and have a sit, the chair can be viewed at the Ink & Spindle showroom: SH 1.32 Sacred Heart Building, Abbotsford Convent. Map.
The only hard part is getting up…
