Sato explained to me that while working with a silk fabric that came carefully packed in layers of paper to protect and hold the shape of its pleats he stumbled upon this design for a chair.
Each layer of paper was peeled back to unpack the silk that was rolled in a coil. The paper packing served as a model but was not strong enough to support weight. Further development involved finding a fabric that was going to be stable enough to support weight so that it could be used as a chair. The final design is made of a non-woven synthetic material similar to fiber-mesh.
