Layers Cloud Chair by Richard Hutten
The Dutch designer Richard Hutten presents the new innovative “Layers Cloud” Chair in the Kvadrat’s Divina exhibition. “I wanted the design to be about the textile,” said Hutten. “Rather than using the material as a cover, I created an object with the material.”

The afore mentioned chair is created entirely from Kvadrat’s multicoloured Divina fabric and it was an “ispirazione” mainly by rock pigments at the Painted Desert in Arizona. The seat is made out of 100 diverse shades of material, which gives it an outstandingly intriguing visual and natural composition. The comfortable seat is manufactured from a “whopping 545 stacked layers”.

The fabrication mechanism of the Layers Cloud chair follows an accurate process starting with the drawing of each single layer, then continuing on with the cutting out technique by commonly using the “Computer numerical control machine” (CNC) and last but not least assemble them by hand.

Born and raised in Ukraine, she holds a Master’s degree in Languages from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Her deep passion for architecture and visual storytelling led her to transition from translation and editorial roles into the world of design media. With a keen eye for conceptual clarity and narrative structure, Anastasia curates and presents global architectural projects with precision and flair. She is particularly drawn to parametric and digital design, cultural context, and emerging voices in architecture. When I’m not analyzing the latest architectural trends, you’ll probably find me searching for hidden gems in cityscapes or appreciating the beauty of well-crafted spaces. After all, great design—like great connections—can be found in the most unexpected places. Speaking of connections, because architecture isn’t the only thing that brings people together.
