About Revolving Especie Krēsls

Especie ir grozāms krēsls, kas paredzēts izmantošanai gan telpās, gan ārpus tām. Krēsls izgatavots no masīvkoka, kas iegūts no nojaukšanas darbiem, un ir slīpēts un lakots. Grozāmā pamatne izgatavota no tērauda. Sēdvieta veidota no vidēja blīvuma poliuretāna un pārklāta ar jūrniecības tekstilmateriālu. Pamatne ir nekustīga, savukārt sēdvieta rotē. Atzveltne ir slīpa, lai nodrošinātu lietotājam komfortu un atbalstu. Kā kāju balstu var piegādāt arī polsterētu soliņu. Forma seko masīvkoka apjomiem un skaidri iezīmētajām līnijām, kas raksturīgas 20. gadsimta 70. gadu Brazīlijas mēbelēm.
