The Design

About Ceremony Silla sin respaldo

Ceremony es una silla sin respaldo concebida para sentarse, tomar té y conversar. La estructura está fabricada en nogal y ensamblada mediante las tradicionales uniones chinas de caja y espiga. Su construcción reduce la cantidad de material empleado, al tiempo que el asiento se mantiene estable y cómodo durante el uso. La superficie del asiento y las patas se mecanizan con control por ordenador y después se refinan mediante pulido manual. La silla se entrega para que el propio usuario la ensamble. La forma remite a la cultura ritual china, en la que sentarse se entiende como un acto de cortesía. La silla mide 400 mm de ancho, 320 mm de profundidad y 430 mm de altura.
