Zeph Knit
3D-knitted upholstery for the MillerKnoll ZEPH chair, available in two versions: Unibody and Seat Pad. Each piece is fully knitted to shape in a zero-waste process, incorporating all required attachments. Compared to conventional upholstery where materials are cut, glued, and sewn, these pieces are produced to their precise dimensions, with the padding yarn integrated as part of the knitting process.

The Seat Pad covers the seating surface. Randomly distributed connection points bind the knitted layers together, securing the cushioning yarn inside and creating its characteristic peppered texture.

Knit Programming in Grasshopper:
The knitting machine software doesn't support parametric workflows, so a Grasshopper layer was developed as an intermediary that allows the design to be scaled and adjusted without starting from scratch each time.
