About Yourself Prilagođeni namještaj

Yourself je sistem namještaja koji se može prilagoditi i sastaviti u nekoliko različitih komada. Yourself se sastoji od drvenog jezgra i seta štapova od aluminijske legure. Jezgro određuje funkciju, dok štapovi formiraju okvir. Dijelovi se spajaju vijcima, tako da jedan proizvod može postati ormar, polica za knjige, dječiji krevetac ili stočić za kafu. Jezgro je izrađeno od tikovine, stabilnog i otpornog drveta, dok je okvir izrađen od reciklabilne aluminijske legure. Jezgra, boje i funkcije mogu se odabrati prema potrebama i karakteristikama svakog prostora.
