About Butterfly Cadeira

Butterfly é unha cadeira inspirada na forma dunha bolboreta. As liñas curvas das ás foron extraídas e desenvolvidas na forma do asento, o respaldo e as patas. O respaldo e a superficie do asento están divididos en dúas partes, seguindo o movemento das ás. A cadeira está feita de aceiro de alta velocidade e está conformada como unha única peza mediante impresión 3D, o que lle confire boa resistencia e un brillo metálico. A estrutura é estable, e a forma e a estrutura están ben integradas. A cadeira pode empregarse para o descanso, a lectura e a decoración.
