About Kuan Cathaoir Uilleach

Is cathaoir uilleach í Kuan atá ceaptha do spásanna maireachtála comhaimseartha. Tá an struchtúr simplí agus neamhphostúil, ag comhcheangal miotail le cumhdach olla. Léiríonn toirt an tsuíocháin, línte an chreata agus an codarsnacht idir foirmeacha soladacha agus folmha carachtar cúlánta na fealsúnachta oirthearaí. Tá an clúdach déanta d'éadach olla allmhairithe, cobhsaithe trí phróiseas traidisiúnta chun dromchla mín a chruthú a bhfuil dea-fhriotaíocht aige in aghaidh caitheamh agus pilleála. Cuirtear sraitheanna spúinse de dhlúis éagsúla le chéile chun suíochán compordach a sholáthar. Tá Kuan ar fáil le hábhair chlúdaigh éagsúla.
