The Design
About Hug Me Cathaoir uilleann
Is cathaoir uilleann é Hug Me atá deartha le haghaidh suí compordach sa bhaile. Síneann na huillinneacha amach i bhfoirm a fuair inspioráid ó bharróg. Tugann bonn tiubh, láidir cuma dhaingean sheasmhach don chathaoir uilleann. Claonann an droim ag 105 céim chun cuair an choirp a leanúint, rud a oireann don léitheoireacht, don scíth agus do chruinnithe teaghlaigh. Cuireann struchtúr comhtháite fráma miotail ionsuite le chéile le cúr múnlaithe mall-athphreabtha, agus tá an clúdach fuaite de láimh gan ghliú. Tairgtear leaganacha de shnáithín poileistir agus d'olann uain i roinnt dathanna, le bailchríoch atá frithuisce agus frithsmál.
