The Design

About Birdcage Základná funkcia: Stolička

Text knihy: Inšpirovaná bambusovou filigránskou technikou Suruga, tradičným remeslom z prefektúry Shizuoka, táto stolička zachytáva jej nadčasovú krásu v súčasnom dizajne. Štíhla, no pevná oceľová konštrukcia umožňuje, aby poddajný tvar jemne obopínal telo, čím sa odstraňuje chlad, ktorý je oceli vlastný, a vytvára sa dojem pripomínajúci čipku. Zrkadlovo leštené sedadlo navyše odráža iný svet, čím zvýrazňuje prítomnosť stoličky. Oceľ je tiež ekologický materiál s takmer 100% mierou recyklovaného obsahu. Tento produkt je vyrobený z takýchto materiálov vysoko zručnými remeselníkmi.

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%.
