About Existence Cathaoir

Is cathaoir í Existence atá deartha le haghaidh smaointeoireachta. Caitear leis an gcathaoir mar phíosa ailtireachta a shainíonn imeall agus a fhágann spás don intinn é a líonadh. Rinneadh dhá phrótaitíopa as cruach dhosmálta. Chun suí ar Existence teastaíonn aird agus iarracht matáin, agus mar sin cuireann an chathaoir teorainn leis an gcompord fisiciúil chun an intinn a scaoileadh saor. Tomhaiseann gach cathaoir 1000 mm ar leithead, 800 mm ar doimhneacht agus 600 mm ar airde. Múnlaíodh na prótaitíopaí de láimh, agus coigeartaíodh teicnící éagsúla chun cruinneas beacht a bhaint amach.
