The Design

About Birdcage Função Primária: Cadeira

Texto do Livro: Inspirada na filigrana de bambu Suruga, um artesanato tradicional da Prefeitura de Shizuoka, esta cadeira captura sua beleza atemporal em um design contemporâneo. A estrutura esbelta, porém robusta, de aço permite que a forma flexível envolva suavemente o corpo, eliminando a frieza inerente ao aço e criando uma impressão que remete à renda. Além disso, o assento com acabamento espelhado reflete um mundo diferente, realçando a presença da cadeira. O aço também é um material ecologicamente correto, com uma taxa de conteúdo reciclado de quase 100%. Este produto é confeccionado com tais materiais por artesãos altamente qualificados.

Unique Properties: Inspired by Suruga bamboo filigree, a traditional craft of Shizuoka Prefecture, we have translated its timeless beauty into a modern chair. It achieves a slender yet robust structure unique to steel, its suppleness gently enveloping the body. Furthermore, the mirror-finished seat reflects another world, making this chair's presence truly memorable. Moreover, steel is an environmentally friendly material with a recycling rate of nearly 100%.
