Never has knitting looked so cool to me. UK-based textile designer Claire-Anne O’Brien was inspired by the actual knitted stitches themselves and created them in large-scale to produce these stools with a modern twist. The effect invokes depth and texture with an overall playful sensibility. The variety of bright colors and chunky patterns makes it really hard to choose a favorite. What a clever way of taking knitting to a whole new level.
The Knit Stools were exhibited at Designersblock London in September 2011. The British Wool Chair (below) was created for British Wool Week in October 2011 and was knit in Rowan British Sheep Breeds Yarn.

“UK-based” doesn’t mean “British”, and the surname O’Brien tells its own tale. So everything is ok.

Surname with prefix O’ means that its owner is Irish or have Irish roots. That’s it. So author didnt make a mistake, when he wrote that designer was UK-based. It is understood, that she shouldn’t be British. And her surname proves that she is probably not.

Oh, really? Ok, let me be ill-informed than. Better is to agree with you, than to prove something. You seems to be very aggressively adjusted person… I said my point of view, and I think I am more right, than wrong.

Read Wikipedia about Irish names or any other encyclopedia. Good luck!

@ Karen, Eka never made any claim on Claire’s nationality, she has merely stated in the article that Claire is UK based(which she is), your attack on Eka was pointless and unnecessary.

Claire’s work is fantastic btw, it’s the first time I’ve ever felt like hugging a chair:)

These are very cute! The posted arguments are pretty lame though.
