The Relief Chair's contours invite the user to sit back and relax. The body of the chair is a layered assembly of medium-density wool felt sheets, adhered to each other and sleeved over an internal steel frame. The felt body and frame rest on break-formed stainless steel legs, with a satin finish. The composition juxtaposes weight and weightlessness with an intrepid stance. The chair makes a statement in any room or lounge.

The scraps of felt generated during fabrication are reused in other Mickus Projects pieces, such as the Refill Pillow.

The Floor Perch is a pouf, coffee table and storage device combined in one. The soft and solid stack of high-density felt sheets catches the eye and comforts the bottoms of the feet. The subtly torqued volume is intersected by angular aluminum inserts, creating voids for storage within and a hard surface on top to keep your beverage close by. It is designed as a stand-alone piece for the compact home or as a grouped system for lobby and lounge environments.

The Refill Pillow reimagines the pillow as a modular acoustic system—individually thrown on a couch, or panelized to subdivide a room. Constructed from woven translucent fabrics and filled with felt pellets, visual translucency is united with acoustic absorption. The zipper perimeter allows multiple pillows to be joined together end-to-end and top-to-bottom, while zipper access to each pocket allows a variable amount of fill. An optional grommet edge allows the pillows to be hung from traditional curtain tracks. The asymmetrical pocket sizes create a resonating pattern as more pillows are joined together. The configuration possibilities are only limited by the user’s imagination.

The felt pellets are cut from scraps of other Mickus Projects designs.

The Specter Table is a one-off prototype that utilizes digital fabrication techniques to morph the properties of the materials it is made from. A solid MDF sheet is CNC-milled so that it seemingly evaporates and puddles, while clear vacuum-formed plastic becomes a rigid structure. Thus, the properties of the plastic and MDF are perceptually inverted. The effects are captured in a vitrine-style frame built from African Wenge wood, with light entering from above and below.

The Specter Table was designed in collaboration with Garrett Belmont, Wil Carson and Christine Heiden.
