About Sushi Cathaoir

'S e cathaoir a th' ann an Sushi a chaidh a dhealbhadh airson dachaighean agus àiteachan a-staigh eile. Tha an structar air a dhèanamh le làimh à fiodh uasal agus air a chumadh le loidhnichean sìmplidh agus ceàrnan geoimeatrach soilleir. Tha na pìosan air an dèanamh aon air aon agus air an glaodhadh, a' leantainn dòighean saoirsneachd traidiseanta. Bidh aodach le inneach a' toirt comhfhurtachd don t-suidheachan agus don taic-droma siolandrach, agus bidh mìneachaidhean umha a' crìochnachadh a' phìos. Tha an taic-droma air a shocrachadh ann an dòigh a leigeas leis an aodach a bhith air atharrachadh nas fhaide air adhart. Tha a' chathaoir a' tomhas 520 mm de leud, 500 mm de dhoimhne agus 810 mm de dh'àirde.
