The Design

About Acorn Leisure Chair Fauteuil de détente

La chaise de détente Acorn est un siège multifonctionnel inspiré de la forme d'un gland. Le dossier épouse la courbure du dos humain et favorise une posture assise correcte, adaptée à la lecture et à d'autres activités paisibles. La structure, en bois massif, est façonnée par découpe à commande numérique et ponçage à la main, puis complétée par des lignes métalliques cintrées par chauffage manuel. Les éléments en bois et en métal sont assemblés par quincaillerie et peuvent être démontés pour le transport. Le vaste espace ouvert sous l'assise peut servir de rangement ou de lieu de repos pour les animaux de compagnie.
