About Corner Fotoliu tip canapea

Corner este un fotoliu tip canapea conceput pentru locuințe și spații publice. Cadrul este realizat din lemn de frasin și asamblat prin îmbinări tradiționale cu cep și mortază. Procesele de uscare, lustruire și vopsire sunt aplicate pentru a îmbunătăți durabilitatea. Căptușeala moale și materialul textil de acoperire sunt combinate cu cadrul din lemn. Brațele triunghiulare, rigide, contrastează cu contururile rotunjite și tapițate. Curbura șezutului, unghiul de înclinare al spătarului și înălțimea brațelor respectă principiile ergonomice. Fotoliul are dimensiunile de 630 pe 700 pe 840 de milimetri.
