I designed the first Arborline chair to solve a problem for the designers at the legendary Rouse company. They liked an Aalto woven strap chair, but their facilities managers rejected the idea of putting chairs with cotton webbing in a food court.

By coincidence, just before my meeting with the Rouse Company, I received a piece of junk mail with a sample of surplus automotive seat belting. The prospect of using a recycled materia attracted mel, so I proposed the idea to the Rouse company. Click here to see Exton Mall

The belting is beautiful. The way they are woven catches light in interesting ways, always changing and sometimes translucent. They are unbelievably strong, and fade resistant. Black belts are standard; many colors are available. As surplus material, the belt colors are always changing. See silver belts at Wildfire Restaurant

The Arborlines have maple hardwood frames and would work in any situation.
