About Whale 0 Падушка

Whale 0 — гэта падушка, форма якой паўтарае абцякальнае цела кіта. Выгнутая форма падтрымлівае галаву, твар і шыю, а таксама адаптуецца да пазіцый сну на спіне, баку і жываце. Падушка вырабляецца з поліёлу на аснове вуглякіслага газу і біяпаліёлаў з раслінных алеяў, што зніжае выкарыстанне выкапнёвага паліва і паляпшае біяраскладальнасць. Для вытворчасці пенаматэрыялу выкарыстоўваецца працэс успеньвання цалкам на воднай аснове. Матэрыял гідрафільны, таму паверхня застаецца сухой і дыхаючай. Форма кіта закліканая прынесці ў спальню спакойнае адчуванне міру і бяспекі.
