The Design

About Kuan Fåtölj

Kuan är en fåtölj designad för moderna boendemiljöer. Strukturen är enkel och anspråkslös och kombinerar metall med ylleklädsel. Sitsens volym, ramens linjer och kontrasten mellan täta och tomma former speglar den österländska filosofins återhållsamma karaktär. Överdraget är tillverkat av importerat yllematerial, stabiliserat genom en traditionell process för att skapa en slät yta med god motståndskraft mot slitage och nopprighet. Lager av skumgummi med olika densitet kombineras för att ge en bekväm sits. Kuan finns tillgänglig med olika klädselmaterial.
