About Scallop Cadira d'oci

Scallop és una cadira d'oci inspirada en la forma d'una petxina de vieira oberta. El seient corbat i el respatller estan fets de xapa d'acer inoxidable, mentre que les potes i els reposabraços es formen amb filferro d'acer inoxidable corbat en calent. Totes les peces s'uneixen mitjançant soldadura. La superfície metàl·lica es tracta amb un acabat que imita la corrosió del coure. El respatller està perforat per millorar la circulació d'aire i reduir el pes. S'hi afegeixen fundes de cuir cosides a mà per als reposabraços i un coixí per a més comoditat. Scallop és adequada per llegir, prendre te i per a l'ús a l'oficina, tant en interiors com en exteriors.
