About Sushi Stull

Sushi ass e Stull, dee fir Wunnengen an aner Interieuren entworf gouf. D'Struktur ass vun Hand aus edelem Holz gefäerdegt a mat einfache Linnen a kloere geometreschen Wénkelen geformt. D'Deeler gi Stéck fir Stéck gemaach a verkleeft, no traditionelle Schräinermethoden. Textéiert Stoffer bréngen Komfort op de Sëtz an d'zylindresch Réckeléng, wärend Messingdetailer d'Stéck ofrënnen. D'Réckeléng ass esou fixéiert, datt de Stoff méi spéit kann ausgetosch ginn. De Stull miesst 520 mm an der Breet, 500 mm an der Déift an 810 mm an der Héicht.
