The Design

About Kuan Lenestol

Kuan er en lenestol designet for moderne boligrom. Strukturen er enkel og nedtonet, og kombinerer metall med ullstoffering. Setets volum, rammens linjer og kontrasten mellom faste og tomme former gjenspeiler den tilbakeholdne karakteren i orientalsk filosofi. Trekket er laget av importert ullstoff, stabilisert gjennom en tradisjonell prosess for å skape en glatt overflate med god motstandsdyktighet mot slitasje og loing. Lag med skumgummi i ulike tettheter er kombinert for å gi et komfortabelt sete. Kuan er tilgjengelig med forskjellige trekkmaterialer.
