‘Created, rather incredibly, entirely by wind power, Windworks Furniture by Merel Karhof teams up windmill-driven manufacturers - a saw mill, a colour mill, and Karhof’s own knitting mill, all in the windmill-rich Zaanse Schans region of the Netherlands - to create seating upholstered with small pillows that visually represent the amount of wind power required in the fabrication process. ‘

The rotating discs were inspired by spinning Peeries which many of the patients remembered playing with as children, chalking patterns onto the tops of the peeries and watching them spin down the street.
