The Design
About Birdcage Primary Function: Tool
Book Text: Shizuoka prefektuuri traditsioonilisest käsitööst, Suruga bambusfiligraanist inspireeritud tool jäädvustab selle ajatu ilu kaasaegses disainis. Terase sale, kuid vastupidav struktuur võimaldab painduval vormil keha õrnalt ümbritseda, kõrvaldades terasele omase külmuse ning luues pitsi meenutava mulje. Peegelviimistlusega iste peegeldab hoopis teistsugust maailma, võimendades tooli kohalolu. Teras on ka keskkonnasõbralik materjal, mille ringlussevõetud sisu määr on peaaegu 100%. See toode on valmistatud sellistest materjalidest kõrgelt kvalifitseeritud käsitööliste poolt.

It achieves a slender yet robust structure unique to steel, its suppleness gently enveloping the body. Furthermore, the mirror-finished seat reflects another world, making this chair's presence truly memorable. Moreover, steel is an environmentally friendly material with a recycling rate of nearly 100%.
