The Design

About Tura Dësch

Den Tura Dësch schëppt seng Inspiratioun aus de Pyramiden, déi aus Tura-Steen gebaut sinn, e Symbol vu Widderstannskraaft an Geschicht. Dësen Afloss huet säin Numm an Design gepräägt an verbëndt antik a modern Ästhetik. Hien huet dräi steenähnlech Basen, déi aus Glasfaser gemaach sinn fir d'Steentextur ze reproduzéieren a gläichzäiteg d'Gewiicht ze reduzéieren. Eng nahtlos Glasoberfläch, mat Silikonverklebung befestegt, steet am Kontrast mat der rauer Textur ënnendrënner. D'Steebäng bidden Stabilitéit, wärend d'Glas Liichtegkeet a Funktionalitéit bäidréit. Dës Fusioun vun Geschicht a zäitgenëssesche Handwierkskunscht mécht den Tura Dësch zu engem zäitlose markante Stéck.
