VOLUME, Thomas Albertsen, Danish Design Makers #Blinddate at Orgatec, 2024
- realised with SHRINX 4903

Volume by Thomas Albertsen X KRALL+ROTH SHRINX

"No foam. No glue. Build for disassembly.
Volume occupies and utilizes space in the same way a cushioned chair filled with foam does. However, the chair is lightweight, and made without foam.
Result: Fewer materials, less consumption. And after a long life, the chair is easy to disassemble.

The design is easy to understand. The chair has an inner frame covered with a self-supporting fabric that serves as the seat and backrest.
The fabric shrinks when heated to 120 degrees and can be attached without tools. This makes upholstering very quick and easy. The fabric can also be replaced very easily if necessary. The inner frame itself is manufactured using a minimum of material, as it is not intended to contribute to the shape in any way other than to stretch the fabric." – Thomas Albertsen.

4903 SHRINX is a semi-translucent SHRINX mesh made of 68% Polyester and 32% Polyamid, available in 30 colors.
A soft feel and a great play of colors are offered by the two-color mesh textile 4903 SHRINX. 
The combination of 30 colors and exceptional technical properties makes it a perfect match for any application.

4903 SHRINX is suitable for seat and back use.
Thanks to the self-supporting property, our SHRINX products avoid the use of additional cushioning materials and thus sustainably relieve the environment.
