The Design
About Revolving Especie Hægindastóll
Especie er snúningshægindastóll hannaður fyrir bæði inni- og útinotkun. Stóllinn er smíðaður úr massífum viði sem endurunninn er úr niðurrifi, slípaður og lakkaður. Snúningsfóturinn er úr stáli. Sætið er úr meðalþéttu pólýúretani og klætt með sjóstáli (nautical) áklæði. Undirstaðan er föst á meðan sætið snýst. Bakið hallar til að veita notandanum þægindi og stuðning. Bólstraður bekkur getur fylgt með sem fótskemill. Formið fylgir massífum viðarmagni og skýrum línum brasilískra húsgagna frá áttunda áratug síðustu aldar.
