The Design
About Hug Me 안락의자
Hug Me는 가정에서 편안하게 앉을 수 있도록 디자인된 안락의자입니다. 팔걸이는 포옹에서 영감을 받은 형태로 바깥쪽으로 뻗어 있습니다. 두툼하고 견고한 베이스는 안락의자에 묵직하고 안정적인 인상을 부여합니다. 등받이는 신체의 곡선을 따르도록 105도로 기울어져 있어 독서, 휴식, 가족 모임에 적합합니다. 일체형 구조는 내장 금속 프레임과 저반발 몰드 폼을 결합했으며, 커버는 접착제를 사용하지 않고 손으로 바느질했습니다. 폴리에스터 섬유 버전과 램스울 버전이 여러 가지 색상으로 제공되며, 방수 및 방오 마감이 적용되었습니다.
