Eoos, a studio based in Vienna by designers Martin Bergmann, Gernot Bohmann, and Harald Gründl, designed the Crosshatch Collection (2014) with a desire to use an industrial material in a handcrafted way, creating a weaving that's both structural and decorative. A year of testing ropes later, they found the ideal choice to be parachute cord, which stays stiff and won't stretch over time. Crafted in North Carolina by skilled artisans using globally sourced materials.
