About 2 in 1 Butaca multifuncional

2 in 1 és una butaca amb emmagatzematge integrat i accés a l'alimentació elèctrica, dissenyada per treballar i per relaxar-se. La butaca combina un seient i una superfície d'emmagatzematge en una sola peça, de manera que els llibres i els dispositius es mantenen a l'abast. Els ports d'alimentació estan disponibles com a preses estàndard o en combinació amb USB. L'ampla superfície d'emmagatzematge es pot col·locar a l'esquerra o a la dreta. Els braços alts de fusta formen un límit visual que afavoreix la privacitat i la concentració. L'estructura està feta de roure massís amb un marc d'acer amb recobriment en pols i tapisseria de polièster reciclat.
