The Design

About 601 Poltrona de Descanso

601 é uma poltrona de descanso concebida para interiores corporativos e residenciais. O estofamento oculta uma estrutura de madeira robusta que sustenta as almofadas do assento e do encosto. Essa estrutura é montada sobre uma base de pernas em madeira feita artesanalmente. Os braços de madeira são fixados à estrutura reforçada do estofamento e à base das pernas por meio de suportes em aço inoxidável. As forças exercidas pelo usuário são distribuídas por quatro elementos, o que reduz os pontos de tensão e permite muitos anos de utilização. O design é inspirado na produção de mobiliário industrial do início do século XX.
