The Design
About Hug Me Fotel
Hug Me to fotel zaprojektowany do swobodnego wypoczynku w domu. Podłokietniki rozciągają się na zewnątrz, przyjmując formę inspirowaną uściskiem. Gruba, solidna podstawa nadaje fotelowi masywny i stabilny wygląd. Oparcie odchylone pod kątem 105 stopni podąża za krzywiznami ciała, co sprzyja czytaniu, odpoczynkowi i rodzinnym spotkaniom. Zintegrowana konstrukcja łączy wbudowany metalowy stelaż z formowaną pianką o powolnym powrocie do kształtu, a pokrycie jest szyte ręcznie bez użycia kleju. Wersje z włókna poliestrowego i wełny jagnięcej dostępne są w kilku kolorach, z wykończeniem odpornym na wodę i plamy.
