About Brace Loungestoel
Brace is een loungestoel ontworpen voor zowel thuisgebruik als recreatie in de buitenlucht. De zachte zitting is gemaakt van schuim bekleed met stof, terwijl het onderstel bestaat uit een metalen buis afgewerkt met poedercoating. Verstelbare riemen bevestigen het kussen aan het frame en worden gesloten met een karabijnhaak. De riemen zorgen voor extra stabiliteit en maken individuele aanpassing mogelijk, wat de zitting een speels en interactief karakter geeft. Afgeronde vormen en verfijnde details maken het ontwerp compleet. De stoel meet 740 mm in breedte, 900 mm in diepte en 680 mm in hoogte.
