About Ryo Cadair Freichiau
Mae Ryo yn gadair freichiau wedi'i siapio fel un ffurf barhaus. Mae'r tonnau'n rhedeg o'r sedd i'r cefn ac yn creu dolen ddi-dor. Dechreuodd y dyluniad o'r cwestiwn a allai dodrefnyn cyffredin gymryd ffurf fwy rhydd. Roedd yr arwyneb tri dimensiwn cymhleth yn anodd ei gynhyrchu ac fe'i cyflawnwyd trwy ddefnyddio ffabrig ymestynnol. Mae'r gadair freichiau yn mesur 725 milimetr o led, 730 milimetr o ddyfnder ac 800 milimetr o uchder. Mae'r gragen grom yn amgáu'r person sy'n eistedd arni ac yn ychwanegu elfen gerfluniol i'r gofod.
