About Picasso Credenza
Picasso is in credenza ûntworpen foar moderne ynterieurs. It stik kombineart massyf Tzalam-hout mei ferhurde glaspanielen dy't fan efteren mei de hân skildere binne yn ferskillende kleurtinten. It hout wurdt snien mei kompjûterstjoerde masinerie en mei de hân ôfwurke. Pin-en-gatferbiningen hâlde de struktuer byinoar, en de poaten hawwe hoekige foarmen. De doarren hawwe sêft slutende skarnieren. Seis lagen polyurethaan beskermje it oerflak en beklamje it hout. De credenza kin lâns in muorre yn in keamer of gong pleatst wurde, of brûkt wurde as skieding tusken romten.
