About Revolving Especie Armchair (Silyang May Bukton)

Ang Especie usa ka nagatuyok nga armchair nga gidisenyo alang sa paggamit sa sulod ug gawas sa balay. Ang armchair hinimo gikan sa lig-on nga kahoy nga naangkon gikan sa gibungkag nga mga bilding, nga gihanglas ug gibarnisan. Ang nagatuyok nga base hinimo gikan sa asero. Ang lingkoranan hinimo gikan sa medium density polyurethane ug gitabonan sa nautical fabric. Ang base gipahiluna nga dili matarog samtang ang lingkoranan mao ang nagatuyok. Ang sandigan-likod gipaduko aron mohatag og kaharuhay ug suporta sa naglingkod. Usa ka gitabonan nga bangko mahimong isuplay isip tumbanan sa tiil. Ang porma nagsunod sa lig-on nga mga bulto sa kahoy ug klaro nga mga linya sa Brazilian nga kasangkapan sa dekada 1970.
