The design was inspired by the intertwining spools of fabric seen when visiting a seat belt factory. Nuttapong’s striking chairs are easily recognizable by the braided backside and stiletto profile. The straps are woven on a frame made of wood that is reinforced with metal.

The inspiration for using cotton straps came after Nuttapong saw them used for seatbelts and bag straps. He designed a steel and wooden frame which he then wrapped in cotton ‘seatbelt’ in a criss-cross pattern, one Nuttapong found more fresh than the basic checkerboard design. The backside of the chair is just as stunning as the the front. Braided all the way to down. The straps have one colour on either side of the fabric, which gives a striking contrast of colour as the material twists, almost like a corset.
The Seatbelt Chairs were featured in the Hunger Games infamous dining room scene.
