About Stoniture Sofa

Stoniture je sofa inspirirana oblikom prirodnog kamena. Dizajn ima zaobljeni rub i široku površinu oslonca kako bi pružio udoban i opušten položaj sjedenja. Pjena sjedišta blago se prilagođava pod težinom, tako da površina za sjedenje prati tijelo. Konstrukcija tijela izrađena je od drva, a sjedište sadrži pjenu gustoće 30. Sofa je dimenzija 110 x 95 x 50 centimetara. Jednostavan oblik osmišljen je da odražava jednostavnost prirodnog kamena i stvori osjećaj prisnosti. Stoniture je dizajniran u Teheranu 2023. godine.
