About Moon Chair Kiti Kinachojijenga Chenyewe

Kiti cha Mwezi (Moon Chair) ni kiti kinachojijenga chenyewe kilichotengenezwa kwa mbao ngumu. Muundo huu unatumia mbinu za kimapokeo za kuunganisha mbao kwa njia ya mortise na tenon pamoja na viungo vya aina ya dovetail. Hakuna vibanio vya chuma vilivyotumika, hivyo Kiti cha Mwezi kinaweza kuunganishwa na kutenganishwa kwa mikono katika hatua mbili au tatu. Kiti hiki kimetengenezwa kwa mbao za mwaluni wa Kimarekani (American walnut) na kuundwa kwa njia ya kukata mbao. Vipimo vyake ni milimita 390 kwa 340 kwa 680. Muundo wake wa ufungashaji bapa hupunguza gharama za usafirishaji na unafaa kwa mauzo ya mtandaoni. Kiti hiki kimekusudiwa kwa ajili ya vijana wenye nyumba ndogo wanaohama mara kwa mara.
