The Design

About Kuan Naslanjač

Kuan je naslanjač, zasnovan za sodobne bivalne prostore. Konstrukcija je preprosta in nevpadljiva, saj združuje kovino z volnenim oblazinjenjem. Volumen sedeža, linije okvira ter kontrast med polnimi in praznimi oblikami odražajo skromen in zadržan značaj vzhodne filozofije. Prevleka je izdelana iz uvožene volnene tkanine, stabilizirane s tradicionalnim postopkom, ki ustvari gladko površino z dobro odpornostjo na obrabo in nastajanje kosmičkov. Plasti gobe različnih gostot so kombinirane tako, da zagotavljajo udoben sedež. Kuan je na voljo z različnimi materiali za oblazinjenje.
