Materials
linen, polypropylene

Four weaved and assembled units are shaping a mattress which reminds the traditional Tatami. Flax is used as a local material, with its raw long fibers. Two opposite materials complete each other to create a compact seat support. Plastic pipes give it a structure while flax fi- bers create a sensation of well-being. « Paillots » has rich acoustic and insulating properties. Each material remains intact thanks to the simplicity of the assembly technique. By allowing the storage of raw materials as a reinterpretation of farming packaging techniques, the act of weaving acquires an added value.
