About Kuan Fotelja

Kuan je fotelja dizajnirana za savremene životne prostore. Konstrukcija je jednostavna i nenametljiva, kombinujući metal sa vunenom tapацirungom. Zapremina sedišta, linije rama i kontrast između punih i praznih formi odražavaju suzdržani karakter orijentalne filozofije. Navlaka je izrađena od uvoznog vunenog tkanja, stabilizovanog tradicionalnim postupkom kako bi se stvorila glatka površina sa dobrom otpornošću na habanje i stvaranje vlaknastih grudvica (piling). Slojevi sundjera različitih gustina kombinovani su kako bi se postiglo udobno sedenje. Kuan je dostupan sa različitim materijalima za presvlačenje.
