About Omni Multifunktsionaalne tool

Omni on välimööbli ese, mis on projekteeritud toimima nii istumiskohana kui ka lauapinnana pööramise teel. Selle vormi iseloomustavad kumerad siluetid ja orgaanilised kujundid. Arvestades kasutajakoostoimet ja ergonoomiat, on Omni loodud pakkuma optimaalset mugavust erinevates istumisasendites ning pööratuna sobivat kõrgust lauakasutuseks. Kergekaaluline Omni võimaldab vaevata pööramist, liigutamist ja paigutamist, pakkudes suuremat paindlikkust ja mugavust välikasutuseks.
