About Sushi Cadair

Mae Sushi yn gadair a ddyluniwyd ar gyfer cartrefi a mannau mewnol eraill. Mae'r strwythur wedi'i wneud â llaw o bren nobl ac wedi'i lunio â llinellau syml ac onglau geometrig eglur. Caiff y darnau eu gwneud fesul un a'u gludo, gan ddilyn dulliau saernïo traddodiadol. Mae ffabrigau gweadog yn dod â chysur i'r sedd ac i'r cefn silindrog, tra bod manylion pres yn cwblhau'r darn. Mae'r cefn wedi'i sicrhau mewn modd sy'n caniatáu i'r ffabrig gael ei ailosod yn ddiweddarach. Mae'r gadair yn mesur 520 mm o led, 500 mm o ddyfnder ac 810 mm o uchder.
