Violan Seat cushion for Eames Side Chair

Violan seat cushion for Eames Side Chair. For the first time, Metz Textil & Design breaks with its own tradition – but the company from Aschau am Inn does this firstly for a good innovative reason and secondly with a clear conscience: Instead of using real wool felt, Metz Textil & Design opts for Violan, a purely plant-based felt developed through years of meticulous work. The material feels just as high-quality as soft merino wool felt, but is made from plant residues and wood fibers. As a seat pad, the felt is stitched in two layers with decorative stitching, allowing the cushion to be used on both sides. Equipped with a padded inner lining, the cushion has a good grip, but can only be hand-washed at 30 °C. In this specially shaped design, the impressive seat cushion conforms to the consistently shaped seat shell of the original Eames Side Chair.
