About Toma Pohovka
Toma je pohovka navrhnutá pre obytné priestory. Forma pohovky Toma vychádza z myšlienky obalenia celého sedadla jedným kusom látky, podobne ako pri palacinkovom ceste. Výsledkom je súvislý povrch s jemnými vlnami, ktorý obklopuje sediaceho človeka. Na dosiahnutie komplexného zakriveného povrchu, ktorého výroba bola náročná, bola použitá strečová látka. Toma má šírku 1580 mm, hĺbku 950 mm a výšku 850 mm. Dizajn skúma voľnejšiu formu bežného kusu nábytku.
