The Design

About Hug Me Fotel

A Hug Me egy otthoni, kényelmes üléshez tervezett fotel. A karfák kifelé nyúlnak, formájukat egy ölelés ihlette. A vastag, masszív alap szilárd és stabil megjelenést kölcsönöz a fotelnek. A háttámla 105 fokban dől hátra, követve a test íveit, ami ideális olvasáshoz, pihenéshez és családi együttlétekhez. Az integrált szerkezet beépített fémvázat kombinál lassan visszaálló, formázott habbal, a huzat pedig ragasztó nélkül, kézzel varrott. Poliészterszálas és báránygyapjú változatok több színben kaphatók, víz- és folttaszító felületkezeléssel.
