FIG. 2 is an enlarged detail view of area 2 circumscribed within FIG. 1; and,

The long and short broken lines surrounding the inner area of FIGS. 1 and 3 depict the boundaries of the claim and form no part thereof. The horizontal stripes as shown in broken line in the detail view, FIG. 2, are portions of the suspension textile sheet that form no part of the claimed design. The broken lines illustrating a chair in FIGS. 1 and 3 depict environmental subject matter that forms no part of the claimed design. The long and short broken lines circumscribing the detail area in FIGS. 1 and 2 are not claimed.
