Sushi is a chair designed for homes and other interiors. The structure is handmade from noble wood and shaped with simple lines and clear geometric angles. The parts are made one by one and glued, following traditional carpentry methods. Textured fabrics bring comfort to the seat and the cylindrical backrest, while brass details complete the piece. The backrest is fixed in a way that allows the fabric to be replaced later. The chair measures 520 mm in width, 500 mm in depth and 810 mm in height.
