About Folded 01 Sella Cenatoria

Folded 01 est sella cenatoria. Sedes et dorsum ex una lamina aluminii crudi conformantur, manu flexa. Forma plicata sellae rigiditatem tribuit atque naturalem flexionis effectum qui commoditatem addit. Lamina aluminii in armatura ferrea colorata imponitur, quae subtile coloris insigne praebet. Consilium inspiratum est ex plicatione schedulae papyraceae quadratae, quae, ubi plicata est, rigida fit. Sella latitudinem 450 mm, altitudinem 500 mm et celsitudinem 800 mm metitur. Propositum fuit ad essentiam rei redire cum specie minima.
