The Design

About Moon Chair Cadeira de Automontagem

A Moon Chair é uma cadeira de automontagem feita em madeira maciça. O design recorre à tradicional marcenaria de encaixe por respiga e mortalha, combinada com travamentos em cauda de andorinha. Não são utilizados conectores metálicos, pelo que a Moon Chair pode ser montada e desmontada à mão em dois ou três passos. A cadeira é produzida em nogueira americana e modelada por corte de madeira. As dimensões são de 390 por 340 por 680 milímetros. O formato de embalagem plana reduz os custos de transporte e adequa-se à venda online. A cadeira destina-se a jovens com casas pequenas que mudam de residência com frequência.
