About Sushi Stoel
Sushi is een stoel ontworpen voor woningen en andere interieurs. De structuur is met de hand vervaardigd uit edel hout en gevormd met eenvoudige lijnen en heldere geometrische hoeken. De onderdelen worden één voor één gemaakt en gelijmd, volgens traditionele meubelmakerstechnieken. Getextureerde stoffen brengen comfort aan de zitting en de cilindrische rugleuning, terwijl messing details het geheel completeren. De rugleuning is zo bevestigd dat de stof later kan worden vervangen. De stoel is 520 mm breed, 500 mm diep en 810 mm hoog.
