Frameless furniture - universal practicality in the interior (24 photos)

Modern design ideas are striking in their diversity and originality. Most recently, developers managed to create a category of furniture products that do not have a plastic or wooden base - this is frameless furniture. Recently, it has been in great demand, as it can be used in any room: in the hall, in the hallway, in the bedroom and in the children's room.

On sale there are various types and models of such furniture: sofas, chairs and ottomans for seating. Such products are called "chair in a bag", which was invented by two young Italian designers in 1967. The first models were heavy because plastic small balls with water were used as internal filler. Such models could not prove themselves well in the furniture market, however, in 1968, one industrialist suggested that the developers improve them by replacing the filler (use foamed polystyrene instead of plastic balls with water).

What is furniture without a frame?

Frameless upholstered furniture that does not have a rigid base is practical, original and stylish. Due to its simplicity and mobility, it is easy to use: both adults and older children can move it from place to place without much effort. The absence of a rigid frame allows a person to lie and sit on it in any comfortable position.

Modern manufacturers produce chairs without a frame in the form of various forms and objects: a soccer ball, apple, orange or pear. They are more to the taste of children, so frameless soft headsets are mainly used in the interior of children's rooms.

Products without a rigid base consist of an internal filler: foamed polyurethane in the form of soft balls, hard sintepon (non-woven synthetic fiber), holofiber (lavsan fiber) and other materials. These fillers have the ability to keep in shape, which fully allows such a headset to perform its functions. Despite the presence of synthetic substances in the composition, the furniture is hypoallergenic, as it is unable to cause allergic reactions.

The advantages of upholstered furniture without a rigid base

Unlike classic furniture products, frameless have the following advantages:

• Comfort. A sofa or chair-bag is able to fully take the shape of a person’s body, so it’s convenient to sit and lie in it. This feeling of comfort cannot be felt when using a conventional frame headset.
• Security. Since the bean bags do not have sharp and hard corners, they are absolutely safe for children - when playing outdoor games, the child is never injured.
• Mobility. To rearrange the chair bag to another place, there is no need to exert physical effort. Even a six-year-old child can completely cope with this task.
• Hygiene. In the event of contamination, furniture is easy to wash in the washing machine or manually, thanks to a removable cover. After washing, they acquire a pristine appearance. The internal filler of the furniture has a water-repellent property - this prevents the occurrence of fungus and mold. If desired, you can change the covers, you can purchase them at any specialized store.
• The original design. A frameless armchair or sofa will decorate the interior of any room, as well as give it a unique style.
• Practicality and durability. Such products have a long service life, they do not deteriorate and do not break with time, due to the lack of a frame there is simply nothing to break. The special properties of the internal material do not allow furniture to sag and deform over time.
• Universality. Soft products without a frame can be installed both in closed and open rooms (terraces, porches and balconies).

The main advantage of this type of furniture is the prevention of damage to the floor covering, because when it is moved, there is no mechanical impact. In case of damage to the cover, it can be easily sewn with ordinary threads or by applying a decorative patch. Unlike classic furniture products (on the frame), repair of frameless will be much cheaper.

Disadvantages of a headset without a frame

Along with the advantages of this type of furniture, there are also disadvantages, however, in order to minimize them, it is important to purchase high quality products. The disadvantages of this type of headset include:

1. Loss of filler shape. Over time, the granules lose their original shape, so sometimes you have to purchase them additionally and fill the chair.
2. In the process of outdoor children's games, the cover may break, and if it is hydro-mattresses, then the liquid will come out. It is much more dangerous if the child removes granules from the chair and tries to eat them. However, in high-quality furniture products without a base, an additional cover is provided, due to which it is impossible to remove granules.
3. Lack of an additional box for things.

You can make a soft frameless headset with your own hands by purchasing all the necessary accessories in a specialized store. It is not recommended to use leather or leatherette for sewing a case, since it will stretch and the headset will lose its shape.

The fabric of the cover should be dense, and the seams should be double, clear and even.The presence of eyelets provides air out of the bag, thereby reducing the load on the seams.
