Abstract
An upholstered three dimensional structure incorporating an internal core and a knitted fabric cover, in which there is provided in the cover a line along which the fabric is less extensible compared to the surrounding fabric, the line being positioned on the fabric such that the line curves over an edge of the core so that on stretching the fabric over the core the less extensible line is displaced from the general plane of the fabric towards the core.
