About Omni Fjölnota stóll

Omni er útihúsgagn sem er hannað til að virka bæði sem sæti og borðplata með snúningi. Form þess einkennist af bogadregnum útlínum og lífrænum formum. Með tilliti til mannlegra samskipta og mannvistfræði er Omni hannað til að bjóða upp á ákjösanleg þægindi í ýmsum sætisstöðum, en veitir jafnframt viðeigandi hæð til borðnotkunar þegar því er snúið. Léttvigt, Omni býður upp á áreynslulausan snúning, hreyfingu og uppsetningu og veitir þannig aukinn sveigjanleika og þægindi fyrir útivistarupplifun.
