Halstrøm-Odgaard have interpreted the woven gap in a classic check pattern to create a design based on the name Iota, the ninth letter in the Greek alphabet. The letter iota can be used as both a long and a short vowel, inspiring a visual image that the two designers have translated into this minimalist pattern.

The Scandinavian design duo Included Middle was formed in 2014 by furniture designer Chris L. Halstrøm and textile designer Margrethe Odgaard.
