Production Technology
All of the technical details that complete the design and function of the product have been solved by using specially manufactured turning parts.

To fix the back upholstery, which is produced as disassembled, a turning and a set screw are used. A special polishing process and a special paint was improved to gained glossy efect on the bright gold metal parts.
