About Laguna Kolltuk

Laguna është një kolltuk i ulët relaksi. Struktura është e fortë dhe ndenjësja është e thellë dhe mbështjellëse. Laguna kombinon disa materiale në një pjesë të vetme, duke përfshirë dru të fortë, metal, pëlhurë tapicerie dhe kallam natyral. Përzierja e materialeve lejon shumë kombinime përfundimi, kështu që kolltuku mund t'i përshtatet stileve të ndryshme të interierit. Struktura prej druri të zi dhe shpina e rrumbullakosur me kallam të thurur i referohen mobiljeve braziliane të mesit të shekullit. Mbështetëset e krahëve janë vendosur lart për të mbështetur krahët në një pozicion uljeje të hapur dhe të relaksuar. Laguna prodhohet në Brazil.

This one still had a very early design. It took another six months of detailing to reach the final design of the piece. During the process, several online meetings were held where every detail from the style to the most suitable production processes was discussed. The way to present the product was always done through digital 3D models. Modeling done in 3D modeling cad software. For the finishing details, fabrics and wood the presentations were enriched with high quality renderings made in Keyshot software. After a year of development, the manufacturing took place in a natural way, reaching perfection in the details and being 100% faithful to the 3D project.
Inspiration: This lounge armchair has a direct conection to the Brazilian midcentury furniture. The elegant structure is made in Grating Upholstered and Black Wood Frame.
