About Wowo Assento Multifuncional

WOWO é um conjunto de móveis de assento multifuncionais para lares com pessoas e animais de estimação. A forma arredondada nasce do formato que a boca faz quando as crianças pronunciam a palavra wowo. Cores de alta saturação e uma estrutura vazada conferem aos assentos um caráter lúdico e flexível. As partes de suporte são feitas em madeira maciça na sua cor natural, cortadas à máquina e acabadas por lixamento manual. O corpo principal utiliza impressão 3D e uma estrutura de montagem magnética, o que facilita o transporte. Os assentos são adequados para a leitura, para tomar chá e para o descanso.
