The Design
About Laguna Atpūtas krēsls
Laguna ir zems atpūtas krēsls. Karkass ir stingrs, bet sēdvieta ir dziļa un aptveroša. Laguna vienā izstrādājumā apvieno vairākus materiālus, tostarp cietkoksni, metālu, polsterējuma audumu un dabīgo rotangpalmu pinumu. Materiālu kombinācija ļauj radīt daudzveidīgas apdares kombinācijas, tāpēc krēsls piemērots dažādiem interjera stiliem. Melnā koka karkass un noapaļotā pītā atzveltne ir atsauce uz Brazīlijas gadsimta vidus mēbelēm. Roku balsti ir novietoti augstu, lai atbalstītu rokas atvērtā un atslābinātā sēdus pozīcijā. Laguna tiek ražota Brazīlijā.

The way to present the product was always done through digital 3D models. Modeling done in 3D modeling cad software. For the finishing details, fabrics and wood the presentations were enriched with high quality renderings made in Keyshot software.

- This lounge armchair has a direct conection to the Brazilian midcentury furniture. The elegant structure is made in Grating Upholstered and Black Wood Frame.
