The Design

About Tura Bord

Tura-bordet henter inspiration fra pyramiderne, bygget af Tura-sten, et symbol på modstandsdygtighed og historie. Denne indflydelse formede dets navn og design og sammensmeltede oldtidens og moderne æstetik. Det har tre stenlignende baser, fremstillet af glasfiber for at genskabe stenens tekstur, mens vægten reduceres. En sømløs glasoverflade, sikret med silikonelimning, står i kontrast til den ru tekstur nedenunder. Stenene giver stabilitet, mens glasset tilføjer lethed og funktionalitet. Denne fusion af historie og moderne håndværk gør Tura-bordet til et tidløst statement-møbel.
