The Design

About Sushi Cadira

Sushi és una cadira dissenyada per a llars i altres interiors. L'estructura està feta a mà amb fusta noble i modelada amb línies senzilles i angles geomètrics clars. Les peces es fabriquen una a una i s'encolen, seguint els mètodes tradicionals de fusteria. Els teixits texturitzats aporten comoditat al seient i al respatller cilíndric, mentre que els detalls de llautó completen la peça. El respatller està fixat de manera que permet substituir el teixit posteriorment. La cadira fa 520 mm d'amplada, 500 mm de profunditat i 810 mm d'alçada.
