The Design

About Revolving Especie Upuang May Braso

Ang Especie ay isang umiikot na upuang may braso na dinisenyo para sa parehong panloob at panlabas na paggamit. Ang upuang may braso ay gawa sa matibay na kahoy na nakuha mula sa mga giniba na gusali, na inamplasa at binernisan. Ang umiikot na base ay gawa sa asero. Ang upuan ay gawa sa medium density na polyurethane at binalot ng telang pandagat. Ang base ay nakapirmi habang ang upuan ay umiikot. Ang sandalan ay nakahilig upang mag-alok ng ginhawa at suporta sa gumagamit. Maaaring ibigay ang isang inupholsteran na bangkito bilang patungan ng paa. Ang anyo nito ay sumusunod sa matibay na dami ng kahoy at tiyak na mga guhit ng kasangkapan ng Brazil noong dekada 1970.
