"The jumper chair is named for its novel knitted cover which resembles a sweater, or jumper."

"The cover, a single piece of wool, is knitted on an industrial knitting machine and is then washed at extremely high temperatures, which shrinks the fabric and eliminates its stretch."

Wrote the designer, "When I first made the seamless chair that took 40 hours of felting by hand I never thought something industrial would come out. But when I ran into some machines at the textile museum in Tilburg it turned out to be not that impossible at all."

"Jumper is a chair upholstered with a knitted woolen cover. The cover was knitted on a special machine that knitted the whole piece in one go. Normally a knitted woolen cover would not make it through an abrasion test very well, but because we felted the cover by washing it at a high temperature the textile became very dense and durable."
