About Revolving Especie アームチェア
Especieは、屋内・屋外の両方で使用できる回転式アームチェアである。解体材から再生した無垢材を用い、丁寧にサンディングを施しワニス仕上げとしている。回転ベースはスチール製。座面は中密度ウレタンフォームを用い、マリン用ファブリックで張り包んでいる。ベースは固定され、座面のみが回転する仕組みである。背もたれは傾斜をつけ、使用者に快適さと支持性をもたらす。オプションとして張り地仕上げのベンチをフットレストとして供給することも可能である。そのフォルムは、1970年代のブラジル家具に見られる無垢材のボリューム感と明快なラインの流れを受け継いでいる。
