About Stoniture Sofa

Stoniture harri naturalaren forman inspiratutako sofa bat da. Diseinuak ertz kurbatu bat eta euskarri-azalera zabal bat ditu, eserleku eroso eta lasaia eskaintzeko. Eserlekuko aparra pixka bat egokitzen da pisuaren pean, eta horrela, eserleku-azalerak gorputzaren forma jarraitzen du. Gorputz-egitura egurrez egina dago, eta eserlekuak 30eko dentsitatea duen aparra dauka. Sofak 110 x 95 x 50 zentimetro neurtzen ditu. Forma sinpleak harri naturalaren soiltasuna islatu eta hurbiltasun sentsazioa sortu nahi du. Stoniture Teheranen diseinatu zen 2023an.
