UAC ANDAMAN & BOMPUKA - Fabric easy chair by Phantom Hands
Description
Uac is an upholstered armless armchair available in a choice of three colours of Andaman fabric and three colours of Bompuka fabric.Andaman is a cotton/linen blend fabric with a simple Panama weave. The entire process of winding, warping, basting and dyeing the yarn is done manually. The fabric is dyed using the traditional and cumbersome tub dyeing process in which the yarn is manually spun in and out of the tub containing solubilised dyes, resulting in continuous reduction and deep oxidation of the fibre until the desired colour is achieved. The yarn picks up the dye differentially and the result is a subtle colour inconsistency, the hallmark of all barrel-dyed fabrics. Bompuka on the other hand is a 100% cotton fabric designed by Belgian textile designer Fabienne Colletper Zanav. Like all Zanav fabrics, Bompuka is produced by mostly manual processes, using almost extinct mechanical looms for the final weave of the fabric. These old looms have limited design options and it is because of this constraint that Fabienne has created a unique fabric by experimenting with the interplay of weave, colour and light. Bompuka requires a high level of skill and craftsmanship; it would not be possible to design and produce it consistently if the process lacked manpower and culture.The armchair can be produced in two different wood finishes: Stripped Black (Z3) and Walnut (Z4). Both finishes were developed specifically for the Zanav Collection. The Stripped Black (Z3) finish is achieved by spraying the wood with a water-based black varnish and then removing it with a steel brush and sandpaper until black streaks are left only in the wood grain. The Walnut finish (Z4) is obtained by staining the wood by hand with a water-based walnut stain and applying a coat of wood sealer.As part of our exploration of handspun natural Indian fabrics for upholstery, we collaborated with the textile company Zanav Home to adapt their fabrics for our upholstery. Several months of intense experimentation and prototyping with Zanav fabrics led a sub-collection of upholstered chairs from our Project Chandigarh pieces. The three chair models in this collection are offered in carefully selected cottons, linens, silk and cotton/linen blends created by Zanav in collaboration with traditional weaving communities. The fabrics have been tested extensively for upholstery usage and durability. Wood finishes were specially developed to match the fabrics selected.
