About Sushi Siġġu

Sushi huwa siġġu ddisinjat għad-djar u interni oħra. L-istruttura hija maħduma bl-idejn minn injam nobbli u ffurmata b'linji sempliċi u angoli ġeometriċi ċari. Il-partijiet isiru waħda waħda u jitwaħħlu, skont il-metodi tradizzjonali tal-mastrudaxxa. Drappijiet b'nisġa jġibu komdità lis-sit u lid-dahar ċilindriku, filwaqt li dettalji tal-bronż jikkompletaw il-biċċa. Id-dahar huwa mwaħħal b'mod li jippermetti li d-drapp jinbidel aktar tard. Is-siġġu jkejjel 520 mm fil-wisa', 500 mm fil-fond u 810 mm fl-għoli.
