About Kuan Sillón

Kuan es un sillón diseñado para espacios de vida contemporáneos. Su estructura es sencilla y sin pretensiones, y combina el metal con una tapicería de lana. El volumen del asiento, las líneas del armazón y el contraste entre los volúmenes llenos y vacíos reflejan el carácter reservado de la filosofía oriental. La funda está confeccionada con tejido de lana importado, estabilizado mediante un proceso tradicional para lograr una superficie lisa con buena resistencia al desgaste y a la formación de pelusas. Se combinan capas de espuma de distintas densidades para brindar un asiento confortable. Kuan está disponible con diferentes materiales de revestimiento.
