About Scallop Loungesessel

Scallop ist ein Loungesessel, der von der Form einer geöffneten Jakobsmuschel inspiriert ist. Sitzfläche und Rückenlehne sind geschwungen und bestehen aus Edelstahlblech, während Beine und Armlehnen aus warmgebogenem Edelstahldraht geformt sind. Alle Teile sind miteinander verschweißt. Die Metalloberfläche ist mit einem Finish in Kupferpatina-Optik veredelt. Die Rückenlehne ist perforiert, um die Luftzirkulation zu verbessern und das Gewicht zu reduzieren. Handgenähte Lederbezüge für die Armlehnen sowie ein Sitzkissen sorgen für zusätzlichen Komfort. Scallop eignet sich zum Lesen, für die Teestunde und für den Einsatz im Büro, sowohl im Innen- als auch im Außenbereich.
