THE KNIT WIGGLE

Canvas, cotton, elastomeric yarns, merino wool, nylon ripstop
Deflated: L 30” - W 20” - H 18"
Inflated: L 30” - W 25” - H 60" 

The Knit Wiggle is a modular inflatable that transcends traditional boundaries of static furniture, creating flexible spaces out of thin air. In its resting state, this inconspicuous cushioned bench is a warm and inviting place for community dialogue. Within seconds, the bench expands into a dividing wall that builds private and intimate spaces. As it inflates, a hidden landscape is revealed in the knitted upholstery, encouraging moments of mindfulness and wonder. Multiple walls can nestle together, making an adaptable division of space. Designed for creative collaboration and innovation, the Knit Wiggle reimagines the future of interiors—dynamic, intriguing and ever-evolving.
