About Scallop Silla de descanso

Scallop es una silla de descanso inspirada en la forma de una concha de vieira abierta. El asiento y el respaldo curvados están fabricados en chapa de acero inoxidable, mientras que las patas y los reposabrazos se han conformado con alambre de acero inoxidable curvado en caliente. Todas las piezas se unen mediante soldadura. La superficie metálica recibe un acabado que imita la corrosión del cobre. El respaldo está perforado para mejorar la circulación del aire y reducir el peso. Se añaden fundas de cuero cosidas a mano en los reposabrazos y un cojín para mayor confort. Scallop es ideal para la lectura, la hora del té y el uso en oficinas, tanto en interiores como en exteriores.
