About Existence Cathair

Is cathair í "Existence" a dearadh le haghaidh smaointeoireachta. Caitear leis an gcathair mar phíosa ailtireachta a shainíonn imeall agus a fhágann spás don intinn le líonadh. Rinneadh dhá fhréamhshamhail as cruach dhosmálta. Chun suí ar "Existence" tá aird agus iarracht matáin ag teastáil, agus mar sin cuireann an chathair srian ar chompord fisiceach chun an intinn a shaoradh. Tomhaiseann gach cathair 1000 mm ar leithead, 800 mm ar doimhneacht agus 600 mm ar airde. Ba de láimh a mhúnlaíodh na fréamhshamhlacha, agus coigeartaíodh teicnící éagsúla chun cruinneas beacht a bhaint amach.
