About Toma Tolg

Is tolg é Toma atá deartha do spásanna maireachtála. Tagann foirm Toma ón smaoineamh píosa amháin fabraice a fhilleadh timpeall an tsuíocháin iomláin, ar nós éadach crêpe. Is é an toradh dromchla leanúnach le tonnta boga a chlúdaíonn an duine atá ina shuí. Baineadh úsáid as fabraic shínteach chun an dromchla casta cuartha a bhaint amach, rud a bhí deacair a tháirgeadh. Tá Toma 1580 mm ar leithead, 950 mm ar doimhneacht agus 850 mm ar airde. Déanann an dearadh iniúchadh ar fhoirm níos saoire do phíosa coitianta troscáin.

Unique Properties
This sofa was born from the act of wrapping it in a single piece.
It has become a unique sofaa with undulations.This project began with the question: could we express the commonplace piece of furniture that is the sofa in a freer form? The idea expanded from the thought that wrapping it in a single piece of fabric, like crepe, might yield an interesting shape, leading us to arrive at this form.
