About Sushi Silya

Ang Sushi ay isang silyang dinisenyo para sa mga tahanan at iba pang loob na espasyo. Ang estruktura ay gawa sa kamay mula sa marangal na kahoy at hinubog gamit ang simpleng mga linya at malinaw na mga geometric na anggulo. Ang mga bahagi ay ginawa nang isa-isa at pinagdikit, sumusunod sa tradisyonal na mga pamamaraan ng karpinteryo. Ang may-tekstura na mga tela ay nagbibigay ng kaginhawaan sa upuan at sa silindrikong sandalan, habang ang mga detalyeng tanso ang kumukumpleto sa piyesa. Ang sandalan ay nakakabit sa paraang nagbibigay-daan upang mapalitan ang tela sa kalaunan. Ang silya ay may sukat na 520 mm ang lapad, 500 mm ang lalim at 810 mm ang taas.
