The Design

About Homa Eraztuna, lepokoa

Homa erabilera bikoitzeko eraztun bat da, lepoko gisa ere eraman daitekeena. Pieza 18 kilateko urrez egina dago eta errubi urdin sintetikoz apaindua. Barneko eraztuna elastikoa da, beraz, eraztuna eramailearen hatzaren tamainara doitu daiteke. Trenaren gurpiletan oinarritutako errail-mekanismo batek eraztuna lepoko bihurtzeko aukera ematen du. Piezaren azpiko itxitura sinple batek forma bere lekuan mantentzen du eraztuna hatzean eramaten denean. Diseinuak eramaileari funtzioa aukeratzeko eta objektuarekin zuzeneko elkarreragina izateko aukera ematen dio. Homa izenak literatura persiarreko zorionaren txoriari egiten dio erreferentzia.
