About Pad Fällstol
Bok Text: Pad är en fällstol designad för att spara utrymme. Stolen viks ihop till en platt panel som mäter 41 cm i längd, 4 cm i bredd och 86 cm i höjd. Flera hopfällda paneler kan staplas och förvaras tillsammans. För att öppna stolen dras den nedre balken ner så att sitsen och benen kommer fram. Sitsen fälls sedan upp 90 grader, och benen fälls ner 90 grader. Pad är tillverkad av teak, ett trä som är stabilt, slitstarkt och skyddat mot röta och insekter. Den platta formen passar både hem och offentliga miljöer.
