Experimental Furniture Design by Raw-Edges Design Studio
Fastener- and adhesive-free upholstery
Typically, upholstery is fastened to furniture by adhesives, tacks or staples. London-based industrial designers Yael Mer and Shay Alkalay, a/k/a Raw-Edges Design Studio, took a different approach with this experimental chair design.
Its wooden frame has a purposeful notch in it. The upholstered foam is simply wedged into it and held fast by friction.
This would make repair, or removing the upholstery to wash the slipcover, easy.
At present the unnamed chair is still in the design phase. It will presumably evolve into a saleable product; the project is being undertaken in collaboration with Italian furniture company Bolzan.

Looks horribly un-ergonomic. Your butt sinks in, you are leaning forward, and your knees come towards your face.
The cushion would have to be suspended from the wood, or the chair would need a wooden seat underneath the cushion. Either way it is a chair with a cushion, as opposed to an upholstered chair. The aesthetic is cool, but wooden chairs with cushions is not a new thing.
