fox and freeze is a creative cooperation between 2 belgian designers, James van Vossel and Tom de Vrieze. Vos is dutch for fox and vriezen means freeze [belgium has 3 official languages: dutch, french and german] we started our cooperation in october 2009. ff1 or fox & freeze1 is an indoor lounge chair made out of 1 square sheet of synthetic felt.

There is no loss of material (except from the drilled holes), it is not supported with wood or metal or other the structure is self-supporting, the flax rope contracts the chair and finishes the chair aesthetically.

The shell and base are not separated from the sheet but remain connected starting from a square surface, the felt sheet is twisted and twisted again, just like a scarf, ending in a symmetric and but also an asymmetric object, this is literally forms follows function.
