About Revolving Especie كرسي بذراعين

"إسبيسي" (Especie) كرسي بذراعين دوّار مصمم للاستخدام في الأماكن الداخلية والخارجية على حد سواء. صُنع الكرسي من خشب صلب مُستعاد من مبانٍ مهدّمة، جرى صقله وطلاؤه بالورنيش. أما القاعدة الدوّارة فمصنوعة من الفولاذ، في حين صُنع المقعد من البولي يوريثان متوسط الكثافة وكُسي بقماش بحري. تبقى القاعدة ثابتة بينما يدور المقعد، ويأتي مسند الظهر مائلًا ليمنح المستخدم الراحة والدعم. ويمكن توفير مقعد منجّد ليُستخدم كمسند للقدمين. ويستلهم الشكل كتل الخشب الصلب والخطوط المحدّدة التي ميّزت الأثاث البرازيلي في سبعينيات القرن الماضي.
