About Sushi Tool

Book Text: Sushi on kodudele ja teistele siseruumidele mõeldud tool. Konstruktsioon on käsitsi valmistatud väärispuidust ning kujundatud lihtsate joonte ja selgete geomeetriliste nurkadega. Osad valmistatakse ühekaupa ja liimitakse kokku, järgides traditsioonilisi tislerivõtteid. Faktuursed kangad annavad istmele ja silindrilisele seljatoele mugavust, samal ajal kui messingdetailid viimistlevad eseme. Seljatugi on kinnitatud viisil, mis võimaldab kangast hiljem välja vahetada. Tool on 520 mm lai, 500 mm sügav ja 810 mm kõrge.
