"You don't really know what it is when first look at it, it offers an opportunity to use your imagination. It is part influenced by pop art, by pop-ups, looking like a sculpture, but a sculpture with function. That is what design should be: playful, comfortable, well built, and something that makes you smile." - Ragnheiður Ösp Sigurðardóttir
Based on a Monkey's Fist knot, the Knot Cushion is made from a knitted tube, several feet in length, which is tied up to create a compact knot which is as comfortable as it is elegant to behold.
By helping her grandfather who was a signmaker in Iceland, Ragnheiður Ösp Sigurðardóttir was inspired to work creatively at an early age. After studies at the Iceland Academy of Arts and Cranbrook Academy of Arts, Ragnheiður opened her own studio in Reykjavik. The Knot cushion was born in 2011 while she was making bear figures made of crocheted tubes "I wanted to try tying the tubes into knots and seeing the outcome I found the idea of a big, soft knot intriguing in a fun kind of pop-arty way I also like that when you take a first look at the cushion you might not really know what it is, and perhaps that is what draws you closer".
Knot cushion belongs to the exclusive group of products that remain in one's memory.
