The Design

About Sushi Stol

Sushi er en stol designet til hjem og andre interiører. Strukturen er håndlavet af ædeltræ og formet med enkle linjer og klare geometriske vinkler. Delene fremstilles én efter én og limes sammen efter traditionelle tømrermetoder. Strukturerede stoffer giver komfort til sædet og det cylindriske ryglæn, mens messingdetaljer fuldender stykket. Ryglænet er fastgjort på en måde, der gør det muligt at udskifte stoffet senere. Stolen måler 520 mm i bredden, 500 mm i dybden og 810 mm i højden.
