The Design
About Corner Sofastol
Corner er en sofastol designet for hjem og offentlige rom. Rammen er laget av asketre og satt sammen med tradisjonelle tapp- og not-skjøter. Tørke-, polerings- og malingsprosesser er anvendt for å forbedre holdbarheten. Myk polstring og et trekkstoff er kombinert med trerammen. Harde, trekantede armlener står i kontrast til de avrundede, polstrede konturene. Setekrumningen, ryggstøttens vinkel og armlenehøyden følger ergonomiske prinsipper. Stolen måler 630 x 700 x 840 millimeter.
