The Design

About Kuan Naslonjač

Kuan je naslonjač osmišljen za suvremene životne prostore. Struktura je jednostavna i neupadljiva, kombinira metal s vunenom tapeciranom oblogom. Volumen sjedišta, linije okvira i kontrast između punih i praznih oblika odražavaju suzdržani karakter orijentalne filozofije. Presvlaka je izrađena od uvezene vunene tkanine, stabilizirane tradicionalnim postupkom kako bi se dobila glatka površina s dobrom otpornošću na trošenje i stvaranje kuglica na tkanini. Slojevi spužve različitih gustoća kombinirani su radi udobnog sjedišta. Kuan je dostupan s različitim materijalima za presvlačenje.
