About Square and Round Monitoiminen istuin

Square and Round on monitoiminen istuin, joka on valmistettu pyökkipuusta ja akryylistä. Läpinäkyvä akryylipinta paljastaa sisäisen puurakenteen. Yhdellä tavalla asetettuna pinta muodostaa kevyen istuimen. Ylösalaisin käännettynä sama pinta muuttuu sivupöydäksi, jonka syvennyksessä voi säilyttää avaimia ja muita pieniä esineitä. Osat on liitetty toisiinsa perinteisellä kaksoislohenpyrstökiilarakenteella, joten metallisia liittimiä ei käytetä. Istuimen voi purkaa käsin, kun lukituskiila löytyy. Litteä pakkaus pienentää kuljetustilavuutta.
