By

Emma Breitenecker

The Layers: 80 layers of tulle, 1 covering fabric layer

The frame

deconstructed old chair, cut off legs

The seating surface

wood, upholstered

The backrest

foam noodles, fixed in a fabric sleeve

The Tulle

fabric exploration

final decision: 100m of ivory and grey

draped and ruffled around the foam noodles, “exploding” around the chair

The Cover

plain but firm fabric, like a top dress

The Illustrations

Either 10 little stories all 8 layers, or on all of the 81 or only on the top layer.

Questions:

  • How will the cover fabric look like?
  • How will the embroidered illustrations look? What colour?
  • How to I put together the differently coloured tulle layers?
