The Design
About Tura Sto
Sto Tura crpi inspiraciju iz piramida, izgrađenih od Tura kamena, simbola otpornosti i istorije. Ovaj uticaj je oblikovao njegov naziv i dizajn, spajajući drevnu i modernu estetiku. Karakterišu ga tri baze nalik kamenu, izrađene od stakloplastike kako bi se reprodukovala tekstura kamena uz smanjenje težine. Glatka staklena površina, učvršćena silikonskim lepenjem, kontrastira sa grubom teksturom ispod. Kamenje obezbeđuje stabilnost, dok staklo dodaje lakoću i funkcionalnost. Ovaj spoj istorije i savremenog majstorstva čini Sto Tura bezvremenskim istaknutim komadom.
