Could the search for a simple way to make legs for a teddy bear have led to a sculptural icon of Scandinavian design?
Knot cushion and pouf by Design House Stockholm - a sculptural knitted design by Ragnheiður Ösp Sigurðardóttir.
Designer Ragnheiður Ösp Sigurðardóttir was looking for a way to machine-produce legs for soft toys. She began experimenting with long knitted tubes. Memories of crafts learned at school in Iceland and knot-tying skills picked up as a scout inspired a gesture that completely changed the purpose of the material. She tied several metres of knitted tubing into a dense, springy knot, combining a touch of pop art with a sense of comfort and closeness.
And that’s how the Knot cushion and pouf were born.
Knot cushions bring a three-dimensional structure to the sofa, softly supporting your back while you read. They’re not like other cushions covered in patterns. They are the pattern.
The Knot XL pouf changes the whole dynamic of a living room. It brings relaxation closer to the floor, creating a natural space for playing with little ones, morning yoga or simply slowing down.
And when it’s not being used as a seat, it becomes a tactile, free-standing sculpture - one that, unlike the pieces in a gallery, actually invites you to touch it.
Who could use a little knot like this in their living room?
make it yours
