The Design

About Stoniture Canapé

Stoniture est un canapé inspiré de la forme de la pierre naturelle. Le design présente un bord incurvé et une large surface d'appui afin d'offrir une assise confortable et détendue. La mousse d'assise s'ajuste légèrement sous le poids, de sorte que la surface d'assise épouse le corps. La structure du corps est en bois et l'assise est composée d'une mousse d'une densité de 30. Le canapé mesure 110 sur 95 sur 50 centimètres. La forme épurée vise à refléter la simplicité de la pierre naturelle et à créer un sentiment de familiarité. Stoniture a été conçu à Téhéran en 2023.
