About Folded 01 Cathaoir Bhìdh

Is cathaoir bhìdh a th' ann am Folded 01. Tha an suidheachan agus an cùl air an cruthachadh à aon lann de dh'alùmanam amh, air a lùbadh le làimh. Bheir an cruth fillte cruas don chathair agus buaidh lùbaidh nàdarra a chuireas ri comhfhurtachd. Tha an lann alùmanaim air a cur air frèam stàilinn dhathte, a bheir seachad mion-fhiosrachadh dathte socair. Bha an dealbhadh air a bhrosnachadh le fileadh nota pàipeir ceàrnagach, a dh'fhàsas rag aon uair 's gu bheil e air fhilleadh. Tha an chathair 450 mm de leud, 500 mm de dhoimhne agus 800 mm de dh'àirde. B' e an t-amas tilleadh gu brìgh an nì le coltas as lugha.
