The Design

About Cross Furniture Mesa de Centro

Cross Furniture é uma mesa de centro desmontável concebida para casas pequenas, acompanhada de um banco sem encosto combinando. Cross Furniture é feita de madeira maciça, couro de maçã, acrílico e cimento. Uma estrutura tradicional de encaixe macho e fêmea une as peças, dispensando parafusos. A montagem exige apenas dois ou três passos, e a peça finalizada é firme e durável. As pernas seguem o formato de saia curva do mobiliário de estilo Ming, conferindo uma aparência simples e serena. O formato de embalagem plana reduz os custos de transporte e adequa-se à venda online e a mudanças frequentes.
