About Acorn Leisure Chair Cadira de Repòs

La cadira de repòs Acorn és un seient multifuncional inspirat en la forma d'una gla. El respatller segueix la corba de l'esquena humana i afavoreix una postura de seure correcta per a la lectura i altres activitats tranquil·les. L'estructura és de fusta massissa, modelada mitjançant tall controlat per ordinador i esmerilat a mà, i es completa amb línies metàl·liques corbades per escalfament manual. Les parts de fusta i metall s'uneixen amb ferramenta i es poden desmuntar per al transport. Un ampli espai obert sota el seient es pot utilitzar per a emmagatzematge o com a lloc de descans per a les mascotes.
